Install from windows

Postby starxultra » Mon Feb 20, 2023 5:12 am

I am currently trying to install arch linux on a raspberry pi 4b using a windows pc
However I have had little luck installing from windows as all the tutorials use linux commands such as:
fdisk -l
fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1
mkdir boot
mount /dev/sdX1 boot
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk0p2
mkdir root
mount /dev/sdX2 root
mv root/boot/* boot
sed -i 's/mmcblk0/mmcblk1/g' root/etc/fstab
umount boot root
So anyways, I haven't found a way to use these from windows so far
Please help me

What you are trying to do isn't possible. MAYBE it's possible by using WSL.

Recommend you boot into a live linux distro to do this.
