Installation
Aura is software specific to Arch Linux. It should also work on Arch-derivatives like Manjaro, but would not be useful on any other Linux distribution.
From the AUR
Prebuilt Binary
It is recommended to install the prebuilt binary of Aura:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/aura-bin.git
cd aura-bin
makepkg -s
sudo pacman -U <the-package-file-that-makepkg-produces>
Source Package
For users who choose to build packages themselves or who already have an established Haskell development environment, the vanilla aura package is also available.
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/aura.git
cd aura
makepkg -s
sudo pacman -U <the-package-file-that-makepkg-produces>
Building from Source
You will need the Stack Tool for Haskell to compile Aura yourself. Then:
git clone https://github.com/fosskers/aura.git
cd aura
stack install -- aura
This may take a while to initially build all of Aura's dependencies. Once
complete, your aura
binary will be available in /home/YOU/.local/bin/
.
Keep in mind that this version of Aura won't be tracked in pacman
's database,
and so it will be easier to miss updates.
