Maybe the easiest way is a live-CD, a normal Arch installation may take
a little if you do it the first time.
Live-CD versions for Arch come and go, so it's not that easy to find

I hope you can just run the iso in some virtual machine. It's likely not
as up-to-date as the average arch users system, but I guess you could
update it.
