I have installed ArchLinux in Bash on Ubuntu on Windows(Windows Subsystem for Linux).

Installation
1. Install packages
Install tools for installation in Bash on Ubuntu on Windows(BoW).
apt-get install -y squashfs-tools p7zip-full
2. Download ArchLinux ISO
Download an ISO from mirror sites as you like.
wget http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/ArchLinux/iso/2016.08.01/archlinux-2016.08.01-dual.iso
3. Pickup the “airootfs.sfs” from ISO
Extract an iso and pickup the airootfs.sfs.
7z x archlinux-*-dual.iso cp arch/x86_64/airootfs.sfs .
4. Extract the “airootfs.sfs”
Extract the airootfs.sfs with the unsquashfs command.
unsquashfs airootfs.sfs
Error has occurred, but it’s OK.
5. Move the squashfs-root to a rootfs.
Close ALL BoW windows.
Move the squashfs-root to root of BoW with Windows Explorer.
- root of BoW - %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\lxss\
- squashfs-root - %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\lxss\root\squashfs-root
6. Backup a rootfs and substitute squashfs-root for rootfs
7. Open BoW
It’s ArchLinux!!
8. Setup pacman and isntall git
pacman-key --init pacman-key --populate archlinux pacman -Syy pacman -S git
Error has occurred when pacman -S (i guess it’s chroot?), I can use git.
