  Now it's time to update and upgrade your packages. Arch uses pacman for its package manager. The next steps will detail upgrading your packages, ugrading the pacman database, install dependencies for the Janus-Server, create a new user, logging in to install the Janus multi-user server.

  pacman -Syu
  pacman-db-upgrade
  pacman -Sy git tmux nodejs sshfs
  useradd -m user
  passwd user
  login user
  git clone https://github.com/lisa-lionheart/janus-server.git
  cd janus-server/
  npm install
  ./generate_key

  Note: If you receive an error like Read only system, just edit /boot/cmdline.txt and put rw before rootwait.
