Compiling on Arch Linux

There is an package in the Arch User Repository that will download and compile the latest commit for you.

$ curl -L -O https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/at/attract-git/attract-git.tar.gz

$ tar xvf attract-git.tar.gz

$ cd attract-git

$ makepkg -s

# pacman -U attract-git.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pkg.tar.xz

ALTERNATE METHOD: Above not working in some cases. Paste the whole below command set into the terminal and all will execute. Recent successful build (tested in Garuda) in 2022 actually looks like

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/attract-git.git

cd attract-git

makepkg -s

sudo pacman -U *.pkg.*

Using the asterisk should be safe since there is only one possible match and is there because the version will change often
