NAME

6       pacstrap - install packages to the specified new root directory
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pacstrap [options] root [packages...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       pacstrap is designed to create a new system installation from scratch.
13       The specified packages will be installed into a given directory after
14       setting up some basic mountpoints. By default, the host system’s pacman
15       signing keys and mirrorlist will be used to seed the chroot.
16
17       If no packages are specified to be installed, the base metapackage will
18       be installed.
19

OPTIONS

21       -C <config>
22           Use an alternate config file for pacman.
23
24       -c
25           Use the package cache on the host, rather than the target.
26
27       -D
28           Skip pacman dependency checks.
29
30       -G
31           Avoid copying the host’s pacman keyring to the target.
32
33       -i
34           Prompt for package confirmation when needed (run interactively).
35
36       -K
37           Initialize an empty pacman keyring in the target (implies -G).
38
39       -M
40           Avoid copying the host’s mirrorlist to the target.
41
42       -N
43           Run in unshare mode. This will use unshare(1) to create a new mount
44           and user namespace, allowing regular users to create new system
45           installations.
46
47       -P
48           Copy the host’s pacman config to the target.
49
50       -U
51           Use pacman -U to install packages. Useful for obtaining
52           fine-grained control over the installed packages.
53
54       -h
55           Output syntax and command line options.
