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*:
pacman -U your_package_file
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*:
yaourt -S psi-plus-svn
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://psi-dev.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/scripts/posix/PKGBUILD|here]]. # Use *'makepkg'* to build the package.
Create a directory for building Psi+. The build session may look like this:
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
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.
