# Building the 'archlinux-minimal' Qubes template # Building the 'archlinux-minimal' Qubes template
## Read first
This is a community guide, not an official guide. So please, first read the below official guides:
- [Qubes-builder](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/qubes-builder/)
- [Qubes-builder-details](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/qubes-builder-details/)
- [Qubes-builder doc directory](https://github.com/marmarek/qubes-builder/tree/master/doc)
- [Qubes templates config](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-template-configs/blob/master/README.md)
Only if the above guides don't work for you, then try this one.
Arch Linux is a [rolling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_release) distribution, making it fragile. In fact, with always the latest versions, the ArchLinux packages meet first the new problems. So it's better to first try to build templates or packages for Fedora or Debian.
Also read :
- the *Debugging the build process* below section
- the [ArchLinux known issues](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/labels/C%3A%20Arch%20Linux) with Qubes-OS

## Steps ## Steps
### 1. Open a non-root ($) terminal in the 'fedora-34' TemplateVM. ### 1. Create a qubes-builder AppVM
Create an AppVM, based on the last Fedora TemplateVM, named for example *qubes-builder* or *build-archlinux*.
