Just add command archey on the top of the ~/.bashrc file.

If you want run archey only on login in tty use ~/.bash_profile.
Or ~/.bashrc if you want to run archey every time you open your favorite terminal (like gnome-terminal)

Just as a heads up - 'man bash' explains the startup procedure and which scripts are run and when. Check the "Invocation" section of the man page for complete info.
