How to add authentication login details for proxy to stop 403 errors

Completely new to Linux as of yesterday, lad in the office wants us to learn it for future use. I have added the proxy details to /etc/bash.bashrc and downloaded the security certificate for our firewall which was copied to /etc/ca-certificates/trust-source/anchors and ran update-ca-trust without error. Whenever I run: "pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware" (the video I am watching does this, please correct if it is not a good way to do things) I get nothing but 403s. Where and how can I add my login details for the proxy server as I believe this is the issue, but again I could be completely wrong.

For reference I am running this on Hyper-V and I have already set up the file systems.

Appreciate any help at this point as I can feel my brain melting lol

Edit: Realise this should of been posted in Newbie Corner, thought I was still in there and not in here, apologies

It is not. Youtube guides are almost always out of date or just plain wrong. The only installation method supported here is the official Installation Guide.

Were you told to use Arch by your "lad in the office"?

Moving to Newbie Corner.

Appreciate the fast reply, yes he said Arch specifically. The steps in the Installation guide are pretty much spot on to what I have done anyway so that's ok.

I have added the proxy details to /etc/bash.bashrc … Whenever I run: "pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware" (the video I am watching does this

This is on the installation iso?

Where and how can I add my login details for the proxy server

Editing the /etc/bash.bashrc won't do anything to the running shell(s) so export the proper proxy variables in that shell instead, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Proxy_ … _variables

as I believe this is the issue, but again I could be completely wrong.

Well, we'll see.

Also, isn't the jerk in the office supposed to know that (the local-spacific configuration details)?
