Running

First, download an ArchLinux ISO (scroll down to mirrors).

Then, set up a VM using for example VMWare Workstation Player 16

On a live-booted archlinux installer, run the following commands

    ls /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/**/*.map.gz
    loadkeys [IDENTIFIER HERE (find it in the output above)]
    pacman-key --init
    pacman -Sy git
    git clone https://github.com/simplePCBuilding/arch-dev-vm
    cd arch-dev-vm
    ./install.sh

and follow the on-screen prompts

Editing the sudoers file

In the sudoers file, you need to uncomment the 15th line from the botton, just below the line that says "## Uncomment to allow members of group wheel to execute any command"

Remove the # in the subsequent line and hit Ctrl + S, then Ctrl + X. This will allow all members of the user group "wheel" to execute any command.
