# You can't directly install packages from the Arch User Database (AUR) with pacman.
|
|
|
|
|
# You need yaourt to perform that. But considering yaourt itself is in the AUR, here is how to
|
|
|
|
|
build a package from its tarball.
|
|
|
|
|
# First, get the .tar.gz archive and unpack it
|
|
|
|
|
wget <archive url>
|
|
|
|
|
tar -xzf <archive file>
|
|

cd <unpacked folder>

|
|
|
|
# Then build the package and install it
|
|
|
|
|
makepkg -s
|
|
|
|
|
pacman -U <package file (.pkg.tar.xz)>
