package using AUR helpers There is a lot of different methods to install on Arch Linux, some of
them are more complicated than others, find a list of methods below:
AUR package builds are updated to the release section on GitHub, see
.
All install, and updates, must be done manually, using the command
supplied within the release notes, please follow the guide on the latest
version of the release.
Pros:
Officially supported Uses a trusted, and well known platform (GitHub) Distributed as a built package, fast to install Cons:
Manual installation, and manual updates Download speed is reliant on GitHub There is two methods of installing from the AUR, please read both before
making your decision on what is best for you.
are command
line tools which encapsulate the
pacman package manager, and extends
its functionality to also be able to pull and build packages from the
AUR.
There are multiple AUR helpers to pick from, see
for more information. For this example we will use Paru.
Install and
packages, these are used to build Arch Linux Packages. Clone the Paru AUR package: git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/paru
Build, and install the package: (will require sudo) cd paru && makepkg -si
Install Reposilite through Paru: paru -Syu reposilite
This will clone, build and install Reposilite automatically.
Every time you need to update Reposilite, execute:
paru -Syu
NOTE:
If you already have Paru installed, you can ignore steps 1 to 3. Paru will update itself automatically, you do not need to follow steps
1 to 3 once you have Paru installed. Pros:
Easy to install AUR packages (not just Reposilite) Automatically updates Reposilite just like pacman updates official
packages. Cons:
Packages must be built, this takes time and computational resources. If you do not wish to use an AUR helper, you can build the package
manually ever release.

Doesn't rely on an AUR helper Cons:
