How to Add AUR repos and install packages [ArchLinux]

How to Add AUR repos and install packages from community repos!
« on: 01. October 2012, 19:05:42 »
If you need some packages via the community repos you need 'yaourt' . First you should have install base-devel:
Code:
sudo pacman -S base-devel

And you need to adjust the /etc/pacman.conf. Open it with your favorite editor:
Code:
sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf

Add this in:
32 Bit:
Code:
[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686

64 Bit:
Code:
[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64

Example:
Code:
#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir     = /
#DBPath      = /var/lib/pacman/
#CacheDir    = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
#LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log
#GPGDir      = /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc manjaro-system
# If upgrades are available for these packages they will be asked for first
SyncFirst   = manjaro-system pacman
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl -C - -f %u > %o
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
#CleanMethod = KeepInstalled
Architecture = auto

# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
#IgnorePkg   =
#IgnoreGroup =

#NoUpgrade   =
#NoExtract   =

# Misc options
#UseSyslog
#UseDelta
#TotalDownload
CheckSpace
#VerbosePkgLists

# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
#SigLevel = Optional TrustedOnly

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local
# keyring can then be populated with the keys of all official packages
# Manjaro Linux supports with `pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro`.

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.

# enable the multilib repositories as required here.

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

Update your package list:
Code:
sudo pacman -Syy
Code:
sudo pacman -Syu

Install 'yaourt' :
Code:
sudo pacman -S yaourt

Install package from AUR:

Code:
yaourt -S package_name

You can use 'packer' too for install from official repos and AUR.

Code:
packer -S package_name

Tip: With 'yaourt' and 'packer' you can not remove package you have installed. To remove package you should use :
Code: [Select]
pacman -R package_name

Enjoy!
