It is also possible to perform a chroot installation, which can require the
92-
`qemu-user-static` package together with either the `binfmt-support` or `proot`
93-
package if a computer with an incompatible architecture (such as i686) is being
94-
used. This guide explains how to use the `qemu-<platform>-static` program from
95-
`qemu-user-static` with [proot(1)](https://man.voidlinux.org/proot.1).

First, [prepare your storage medium](#custom-partition-layout). Then, follow
98-
either the [XBPS chroot installation](../chroot.md#the-xbps-method) or the

Finally, follow the [chroot configuration steps](../chroot.md#configuration)
104-
steps, but instead of using the [chroot(1)](https://man.voidlinux.org/chroot.1)
105-
command to [enter the chroot](../chroot.md#entering-the-chroot), use the
106-
following command, replacing `<platform>` with `arm` for armv6l and armv7l
107-
devices, and with `aarch64` for aarch64 devices:

If doing this from a computer with an incompatible archtecture (such as x86_64),
97+
install the `qemu-user-static` and `binfmt-support` packages and enable the
98+
`binfmt-support` service before installing.
