The Prime Installer has a unique feature that allows it to be updated from the ISO image so it can be fixed if issues arise due to dependency issues from Arch Linux. Please note that images may change with each release but the basic functions will remain the same. This method is preferred instead of using the Calamares installer due to constant dependency issues caused by the rolling release policy of Arch Linux. However, The Calamares Installer will be available starting with v3.1.1
