TL;DR

arch-chroot

Enhanced chroot command to help in the Arch Linux installation process. More information: https://manned.org/arch-chroot.8.

  • Start an interactive shell (Bash, by default) in a new root directory:

arch-chroot path/to/new/root

  • Specify the user (other than the current user) to run the shell as:

arch-chroot -u user path/to/new/root

  • Run a custom command (instead of the default Bash) in the new root directory:

arch-chroot path/to/new/root command command_arguments

  • Specify the shell, other than the default Bash (in this case, the zsh package should have been installed in the target system):

arch-chroot path/to/new/root zsh
