To run installer either run sudo abinstall in a terminal of use Super + i keybinding
If you wish to set up partitions before running installer either do so manually in a terminal or use gparted [note to work under wayland you will need to use sudo -E gparted].
Once complete then simply mount new partitions to /mnt.
The installer is menu driven and very easy to follow.
