What is the AUR?

The Arch User Repository (known as AUR) is a large library of community user-produced packages for Arch Linux.

Popular and well-maintained packages are voted on by the community to include in the official Arch extra repository.

To download and install AUR packages:

1. Clone the git repository listed on the package’s AUR page:

      git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/<pkg>.git
     

2. Change into the package directory:

     cd <pkg>
     

3. Build and install the package with:

      makepkg -si
    # or
    pacman -U pkg-vers-1.0.1.pkg.tar.zst
