====== Psi+ on ArchLinux ======




===== Introduction =====

You can install the Psi+ package using **pacman**, **yaourt** or build the package from sources.



===== Using pacman =====

  * Download latest **pkg.tar.gz** package file for ArchLinux from the [[http://code.google.com/p/psi-dev/downloads/list?q=ArchLinux|Psi+ Download page]].

  * Install the package **as root**:

<code>
pacman -U your_package_file
</code>

You have also to install all dependencies that are required by the Psi+ package.



===== Using yaourt (installing from AUR) =====

You may install Psi+ from AUR **as root**:

<code>
yaourt -S psi-plus-svn
</code>



===== Building from sources =====

For this method you need a **PKGBUILD** file to build the package from source and the **makepkg** utility.

  * Download **PKGBUILD** file from [[http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/psi-plus/PKGBUILD|here]].
  * Use **makepkg** to build the package.

Create a directory for building Psi+. The build session may look like this:

<code>
cd ~                   # change the current dir to $HOME
mkdir psi-plus         # create a new directory
cd psi-plus            # enter it
wget http://psi-dev.googlecode.com/files/PKGBUILD   # or manually put the PKGBUILD file in this directory instead
makepkg -i -s          # build the package, download all the dependences
                       # and install as root automatically
</code>

You can run **makepkg** without any parameters.

Then your package file will be created in current directory (or in directory specified with PKGDEST variable in your /etc/makepkg.conf file). You also have to install all dependences manually with the **pacman** utility.

After building you can install your package using **pacman -U package_file.pkg.tar.gz** command **as root**.

__**NOTE**__: to save traffic don't delete the directory (~/psi-plus) and its content, next time you will run the **makepkg** utility it will download 'only a minimal' amount of data from the svn and git Psi+ source servers.
