describe the problem

I'm a person who wants to install arch via archinstall the reason is because the wiki is too complex to me and because it tells you to use old and harder/complex apps like fdisk instead of cfdisk and because everytime i install arch manually i don't know what to do next because i still feels like i need to config or install more stuff like for example when i installed arch manually in the past i tried to configure add the spanish language for my system as my default language but it didn't so i ended up getting stuck in english and i usually use my OS in spanish

Plus the thing is that after some research i realized archinstall itself isn't a problem but rather the keyring at the archlinux iso considering there were times were archinstall worked without any error but sometimes arch didn't work is always a 50/50 when it comes to arch install i even tried the keyring command on the archinstall github but it didn't work

So is there a way i can fix archinstall to install arch normally without using the wiki
