We are creating a series of YouTube videos under the “edu-“ label to guide users through the migration from ArcoLinux to Arch Linux. These tutorials aim to make the transition process smoother by explaining each step clearly and providing practical examples. Whether you’re switching to gain more control or to learn vanilla Arch, our edu- videos are here to support your journey.

ArcoLinux has stopped

Teaching never stops—because learning is a lifelong journey for all of us.

How to build a package from AUR with MAKEPKG

Let us build trizen from the AUR with the PKGBUILD. Monthly (before each release) we check if the AUR packages got a new version.

Then we download a snapshot of the pkgbuild and build it ourselves with makepkg.

.pkg.tar.xz is your extension (signal) that you can install that package. It is an installation file like .exe or .msi.

General Package Building Information

On the AUR you will find thousands of PKGBUILDS.
You can use their PKGBUILDS or make one yourself.

AUR = Arch User Repository – A user is someone like you and me.

Here are some interesting links if you want to make your own ‘recipe’ or PKGBUILD.
