+### Information
+
+This we can build a fresh **Arch ISO** without having to wait for one every month. I mean we can always do that n grab it from [**ArchLinux**](https://archlinux.org/download/){:target="_blank"}. Still knowing how to build a fresh one will always prove to be useful in a bind, am I right ?

+
+### Let's do this 🚀
+
+First off we need to grab a few packages in order to be able to build the ISO.
+
+```Bash
+sudo pacman -S archiso
+```
+
+Create a `MyArch` folder anywhere, in my case I did it in `Documents`, then copy over `releng` folder from `/usr/share/archiso/configs` then `cd into it like so :
+
+```Bash
+mkdir -p ~/Documents/MyArch
+cp -rf /usr/share/archiso/configs/releng ~/Documents/MyArch/
+cd ~/Documents/MyArch/
+```
+
+Now we need create two folders in our home directory or anywhere else, up to you, one called `work` for placing extracted files, another called `out` where final ISO will be located.
+
+```Bash
+mkdir ~/work && mkdir ~/out
+```
+
+Now that it's all done we can proceed to building a fresh new & updated **ArchISO**. Just use the command below and watch the magic happen.
+
+```Bash
+sudo mkarchiso -v -w ~/work -o ~/out releng
+```
+
+Finally we can delete the work directory to save space. just do `sudo sudo rm -rf work/`.
+
+### Wrapping up
+
+Now that we have an idea on how to build the **Arch ISO**, we can take it to another level. Yes, this is where most *Arch-Based* distros like **XeroLinux** begin. We can start modifying the `packages.x86_64` file inside `releng` folder adding more and more packages we might need to be included on the ISO out the box.
+
+Just keep in mind that in order to get the `DE/WM` you want on the ISO a lot more work is involved. But now you get the idea. Have fun, I know I will 🚀
+
+That's it !
