+## Intro
+
+Artix's installer runs fine on my mid 2010s Macbook Air, but on my early 2020s NovaCustom the Calamares installer was hanging at Gathering System Requirements. Here's how I got around it.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Create bootable media with a GUI installer as you normally would, such as ```sudo dd if=./artix-cinnamon-runit-YYYYMMDD.iso of=/your/device bs=4M status=progress && sync```
+2. Restart the system and boot the media.
+3. Key down to CD/DVD/ISO option and press `e`.
+4. Add `nomodeset` and `modprobe.blacklist=wl` to the kernel options. ```setparams 'From CD/DVD/ISO: artix.x86_64 ' 'x86_64 nomodeset modprobe.blacklust=wl lang=en_US keytable=us tz=UTC ...```
+5. Press `ctrl+x` to save and launch the script.
+6. Allow the media to boot the desktop environment.
+7. Try the GUI installer and hopefully it's ready to go.
+    - If not, run `calameres -d` from the terminal rather than launching the desktop shortcut to see if any obvious errors appear, then troubleshoot from there.
+
+After you get it installed
+, if you notice issues with programs rendering properly
+, especially GTK apps where Qt apps work fine
+, [please see this article](/artix-intel-gpu).
+
+## Bonus
+
+Once you have Artix installed and have rebooted into it, I recommend enabling the `extra` repo from Arch.
+
+```
+# Update System
+sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm
+
+# Install Package
+sudo pacman -Sy artix-archlinux-support
+
+# Add Repository
+sudo echo -e "\n\n## Arch Repos (unsupported but recommended) ##\n" >> /etc/pacman.conf
+sudo echo "[extra]" >> /etc/pacman.conf
+sudo echo "/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch" >> /etc/pacman.conf
+
+# Ensure Success
+sudo pacman -Syy
+```
+
