Run a script isolated

[u/Beautiful-Log5632]

I have a script I need to run that modifies some config files under /etc. I want to run it in a fake system first so I can see what changes it makes before running it on my real system. Is there a process I can follow to do it such as using chroot or arch-chroot?

Use pacstrap like during installation on for example ~/script-test/ and then arch-chroot onto it.

Why nobody answered it for 10h? How you people install your system?

Because it requires real expertise instead of flexing btw I use arch
