### How to Install Packages in Arch Linux from AUR

tutorials

Arch Linux is renowned for its extensive software availability from both official repositories and the AUR. This guide explores various methods to install packages in Arch Linux.

**AUR (Arch User Repository)** is a community-driven platform for Arch Linux enthusiasts. It was established to organize and share new packages, facilitating the inclusion of popular packages into the repository. The repository includes package descriptions called **PKGBUILD**, which enable users to compile packages from source using the **makepkg** command, followed by installation through the native **pacman** command.

To simplify the process, AUR offers "helpers" or tools to easily download PKGBUILD files and initiate the compilation process with minimal steps. This is the preferred method for Arch Linux users who prefer not to compile from source. We will focus on two major AUR helpers:

1.  Yaourt
2.  Packer

**Installing Packages Using Yaourt**

Yaourt, an acronym for **Y**et **A**n**O**ther **U**ser **R**epository **T**ool, is a package wrapper that facilitates the installation of AUR packages. It serves as a wrapper for pacman with extended features including AUR support.

**How to Install Yaourt**

Yaourt can be installed using two methods:

1.  Using a custom repository
2.  Using AUR

**Installing Yaourt Using a Custom Repository**

Edit pacman's configuration file with your preferred text editor:

> `$ sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf`

Append the following lines:

> `[archlinuxfr]   SigLevel = Never   Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch`

Save and exit. Then, update the repository database and install Yaourt:

> `sudo pacman -Sy yaourt`

**Installing Yaourt Using AUR**

This method is more involved. Follow these steps:

> `sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel git wget yajl`

> `git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/package-query.git`

> `cd package-query/`

> `makepkg -si`

> `git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yaourt.git`

> `cd yaourt/`

> `makepkg -si`

1.  Install required dependencies:
2.  Clone the package-query repository:
3.  Navigate to the package-query directory:
4.  Compile and install, then exit the directory:
5.  Clone the latest Yaourt repository:
6.  Navigate into the yaourt directory:
7.  Compile and build Yaourt:

Yaourt is now installed. Use the following syntax to install packages:

> `yaourt -S packagename`

Update your Arch Linux system:

> `yaourt -Syu`

Upgrade installed packages:

> `yaourt -U packagename`

Build a package from PKGBUILD:

> `yaourt -P directory`

**Installing Packages Using Packer**

Packer is another tool that simplifies the process of compiling and installing packages from AUR. It allows users to install, upgrade, search, and get information about packages.

**Installing Packer**

First, install the required dependencies:

> `sudo pacman -S base-devel fakeroot jshon expac git wget`

Download the PKGBUILD script from AUR:

> `wget https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/plain/PKGBUILD?h=packer`

Rename the folder for convenience:

> `mv PKGBUILD?h=packer PKGBUILD`

Compile the package and create the installation file:

> `makepkg`

Finally, install Packer:

> `sudo pacman -U packer-*.pkg.tar.xz`

Packer is now installed. Use the following command to install packages:

> `packer -S packagename`

Update all AUR packages:

> `packer -Syu`

**Closing Thoughts**

This guide provides insights into installing packages on Arch Linux using Yaourt and Packer. Stay tuned for more informative articles. Cheers!
