**UPDATED** Testing ArchStrike

I. Install the Repository

Notes:

This guide assumes you already have a working copy of Arch Linux

Lines beginning with # are command line operations that should be run as root or using sudo

Lines beginning with $ are command line operations that can be run as either root or a user

1. Setup the master ArchStrike repository mirror

Add the following to the bottom of your /etc/pacman.conf:

[archstrike] Server = https://mirror.archstrike.org/$arch/$repo

Note: x86_64 users should also ensure that the multilib repository is enabled.

Refresh the pacman package database by running:

# pacman -Syy

2. Bootstrap and install the ArchStrike keyring

Initialize the pacman keyring and start dirmngr, then import and sign the key used to sign the archstrike-keyring package:

# pacman-key --init # dirmngr < /dev/null # pacman-key -r F32D93DA # pacman-key --lsign-key F32D93DA

3. Install required packages

Install archstrike-keyring and archstrike-mirrorlist to import the keyring and setup the mirrorlist:

# pacman -S archstrike-keyring # pacman -S archstrike-mirrorlist

4. Configure pacman to use the mirrorlist

Open /etc/pacman.conf and replace the following block you added above:

[archstrike] Server = https://mirror.archstrike.org/$arch/$repo

with a new block that uses the mirrorlist instead:

[archstrike] Include = /etc/pacman.d/archstrike-mirrorlist

Note: To use the archstrike-testing repository you should also add the following block (See the repositories page for more information). Use this at your discretion since packages might have some bugs:

[archstrike-testing] Include = /etc/pacman.d/archstrike-mirrorlist

Refresh the pacman package database again to reflect the changes above by running:

# pacman -Syy

II. Groups and Packages

The list of ArchStrike packages from each repository can be viewed by running:

$ pacman -Sl archstrike $ pacman -Sl archstrike-testing

The list of ArchStrike groups available can be viewed by running:
