script command - bash linux terminal

Question

I am running the cmd

script install-log.txt

the terminal successfully returns

Script started, file is install-log.txt

If I begin typing commands and receiving output to the screen

lsblk
fdisk -l
ls
echo ok

when I check the install-log.txt

nano install-log.txt

it is empty.

I thought all cmd was supposed to be saved there until the session is finished?

I am using Arch-Linux installation CD, and wanted to save this log to record my installation setup cmds.

You need to terminate script operation by running 'exit' command. That wont exit your terminal as such. Then you can view your log file.
