Currently, 12 Linux distros are compatible with it

• ArchBang
• Archcraft
• Arch Linux
• ArcoLinux
• Artix Linux
• CachyOS
• EndeavourOS
• Garuda Linux
• KaOS
• Manjaro
• Obarun Linux
• Parabola GNU/Linux-libre

You'll need:

• Alpm_octopi_utils library
• A helper to execute pacman commands called "octphelper", available on "./helper" dir
• A privilege escalation tool calledqt-sudo
• qtermwidget package, in order to build Octopi with embedded terminal support

If Octopi package is available in your distro's repository, you can just type:

# pacman -S octopi

Assuming you have vala compiler and Qt6 libs properly installed, follow these steps:

$ git clone https://github.com/aarnt/alpm_octopi_utils$ cd alpm_octopi_utils$ make# make install$ cd ..$ git clone https://github.com/aarnt/qt-sudo$ cd qt-sudo$ qmake6$ make# make install$ cd ..$ git clone https://github.com/aarnt/octopi$ cd octopi/helper$ qmake6$ make# make install$ cd ../notifier$ qmake6$ make# make install$ cd ../cachecleaner$ qmake6$ make# make install$ cd ../repoeditor$ qmake6$ make# make install$ cd ..$ qmake6$ make# make install

You can also use the available PKGBUILD script that helps you build Octopi with all its tools:

$ cd OCTOPI_PATH (where you git cloned the source code)$ makepkg -f

As an alternative to qmake, Octopi can also be built with CMake. Make sure that at least CMake 3.5 is installed.

First, build and install alpm_octopi_utils:

$ git clone https://github.com/aarnt/alpm_octopi_utils$ cd alpm_octopi_utils$ mkdir build_dir && cd build_dir$ cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr$ make$ sudo make install

Next, build and install Octopi:

$ git clone https://github.com/aarnt/octopi$ cd octopi$ mkdir build_dir && cd build_dir$ cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr$ make$ sudo make install

$ /usr/bin/octopi

$ /usr/bin/octopi-notifier

You'll need to installpacaur,paru,pikaur,trizen oryay in your system.If neither of the previous tools are found Octopi will download latest "yay-bin" github binary.In KaOS,kcp will be supported out of the box.
