Initial setup ============= #. Install package(s) as usual. At least, ``ahriman-core`` package is required; other features can be installed separately. Alternatively, it is possible to install meta-package, which includes everything. #. Change settings if required, see :doc:`configuration reference ` for more details. #. Perform initial setup: .. code-block:: shell sudo ahriman -a x86_64 -r aur service-setup ... .. admonition:: Details :collapsible: closed ``service-setup`` literally does the following steps: #. Create ``/var/lib/ahriman/.makepkg.conf`` with ``makepkg.conf`` overrides if required (at least you might want to set ``PACKAGER``): .. code-block:: shell echo 'PACKAGER="ahriman bot "' | sudo -u ahriman tee -a /var/lib/ahriman/.makepkg.conf #. Configure build tools (it is required for correct dependency management system): #. Create configuration file ``{name}.conf`` or ``{name}-{arch}.conf``, where ``name`` is the repostory name and ``arch`` is the repository architecture, e.g.: .. code-block:: shell cp /usr/share/devtools/pacman.conf.d/{extra,aur-x86_64}.conf #. Change configuration file, add your own repository, add multilib repository etc: .. code-block:: shell echo '[multilib]' | tee -a /usr/share/devtools/pacman.conf.d/aur-x86_64.conf echo 'Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist' | tee -a /usr/share/devtools/pacman.conf.d/aur-x86_64.conf echo '[aur]' | tee -a /usr/share/devtools/pacman.conf.d/aur-x86_64.conf echo 'SigLevel = Optional TrustAll' | tee -a /usr/share/devtools/pacman.conf.d/aur-x86_64.conf echo 'Server = file:///var/lib/ahriman/repository/$repo/$arch' | tee -a /usr/share/devtools/pacman.conf.d/aur-x86_64.conf This command supports several arguments, kindly refer to its help message. #. Start and enable ``ahriman@.timer`` via ``systemctl``: .. code-block:: shell systemctl enable --now ahriman@x86_64-aur.timer #. Start and enable status page: .. code-block:: shell systemctl enable --now ahriman-web #. Add packages by using ``ahriman package-add {package}`` command: .. code-block:: shell sudo -u ahriman ahriman package-add ahriman --now --refresh The ``--refresh`` flag is required in order to handle local database update.
