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.
