+# Testing
+
+To test this, the simplest approach is to use a local image and create a loop device.<br>
+This can be done by installing `pacman -S arch-install-scripts util-linux` locally and do the following:
+
+ # dd if=/dev/zero of=./testimage.img bs=1G count=5
+ # losetup -fP ./testimage.img
+ # losetup -a | grep "testimage.img" | awk -F ":" '{print $1}'
+ # pip install archinstall
+ # python -m archinstall guided
+
+This will create a *5GB* `testimage.img` and create a loop device which we can use to format and install to.<br>
+`archinstall` is installed and executed in [guided mode](#docs-todo).
