Existing Arch Users
If you are an existing Arch user, there is no need to download a new ISO to update your existing system. You may be looking for an updated mirrorlist instead.
BitTorrent Download (recommended)
If you can spare the bytes, please leave the client open after your
download is finished, so you can seed it back to others.
A DHT capable client is required.
A WebSeed capable client is recommended for fastest download speeds.
Netboot
If you have a wired connection, you can boot the latest release directly over the network.
Vagrant images
Vagrant images for libvirt and virtualbox are available on the Vagrant Cloud. You can bootstrap the image with the following commands:
vagrant init archlinux/archlinux
vagrant up
Docker image
The official Docker image is available on Docker Hub. You can run the image with the following command:
docker run -it archlinux
VM images
Official virtual machine images are available for download on our GitLab instance, more information is available in the README.
HTTP Direct Downloads
In addition to the BitTorrent links above, install images can also be
downloaded via HTTP from the mirror sites listed below. Please
ensure the download image matches the checksum from the sha256sums.txt
or b2sums.txt
file linked below.

Download verification
Verify the BLAKE2b checksums as follows:$ b2sum -c b2sums.txt
To verify the PGP signature using Sequoia, first download the release signing key from WKD:
$ sq network wkd fetch pierre@archlinux.org -o release-key.pgp
With this signing key, verify the signature:
$ sq verify --signer-file release-key.pgp --detached archlinux-2024.12.01-x86_64.iso.sig archlinux-2024.12.01-x86_64.iso
Alternatively, using GnuPG, download the signing key from WKD:
$ gpg --auto-key-locate clear,wkd -v --locate-external-key pierre@archlinux.org
Verify the signature:
$ gpg --keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve --verify archlinux-2024.12.01-x86_64.iso.sig archlinux-2024.12.01-x86_64.iso
