Nowhere can I find a clear instruction on installing arch with i3wm

in the arch philosophy, these are two separate entities, and not like in most distributions, when sharpening for a specific shell
, the principle is something like this: put the basic arch system in the end, get a bare console, then roll any WM / DE graphical shell from above , after which this very shell adjust to your liking.
For i3 installation and configuration, see arhcwiki , in parallel, if at first it is difficult to navigate, you can look at the (only fresh) description on the Internet, for example Installing and configuring i3wm
