Problem

How to use the aur command: Build packages from the AUR and manage local repositories. Note: A local repository needs to be defined in /etc/pacman.conf and vifm needs to be installed for this to fully function. More information: <https://github.com/aurutils/aurutils>.

Solution

aur — Build packages from the AUR and manage local repositories. Note: A local repository needs to be defined in /etc/pacman.conf and vifm needs to be installed for this to fully function. More information: <https://github.com/aurutils/aurutils>.

Initialize the repository that matches the path in /etc/pacman.conf:
repo-add {{path/to/database.db.tar.gz}}


Search the AUR database for a package:
aur search {{keyword}}


Download one or more packages and their dependencies from the AUR, build them, and add them to a local repository:
aur sync {{package1 package2 ...}}


List packages available in your local repository:
aur repo {{[-l|--list]}}


Upgrade local repository packages:
aur sync {{[-u|--upgrades]}}


Clean build files after install:
aur sync {{[-C|--clean]}} {{package}}


Install a package without viewing changes in Vim and do not confirm dependency installation:
aur sync --noview {{[-n|--noconfirm]}} {{package}}


Remove a package form the repository metadata (does not remove the package file itself):
repo-remove {{path/to/database.db.tar.gz}} {{package}}
