The first step is downloading the ISO file:

1. Visit the web page https://archlinux.org/download/
2. Choose a mirror
3. Download the file archlinux-x86_64.iso
4. Download the files archlinux-x86_64.iso.sig and b2sums.txt

On Linux, we can download the files on the command line using wget. Edit the variable MIRROR accordingly and execute:

MIRROR="https://br.mirrors.cicku.me/archlinux/iso/latest"
wget $MIRROR/archlinux-x86_64.iso -O archlinux-x86_64.iso
wget $MIRROR/archlinux-x86_64.iso.sig -O archlinux-x86_64.iso.sig
wget $MIRROR/b2sums.txt -O b2sums.txt

The -O option is necessary to overwrite older versions of the files if they already exist.

Note: If wget is not installed on your computer, install it or complete the above steps manually (using a web browser).
