HISTORY

This repository was archived on June 4, 2022, and reopened on July 15, 2025, for renewal and repurposing, given the continued interest.

I admit that I was inexperienced at the time and hadn't produced all the AppImage packages I have now, but I decided to reopen this repository to renew the code and improve its features where possible.

I've also worked on other packaging methods, but Arch-Deployer is an interesting project that can and will continue to improve over time, building on my current experience.

Installation methods

To obtain the script you can run multiple methods, the main three are:

1. Using "AM", the Application Manager (recommended)
2. Using "wget" (locally)
3. Using your favourite AUR helper

1. "AM" APPLICATION MANAGER

I recommend using "AM" Application Manager", because it can easilly keep you updated with the latest version of all the programs managed, and without root permissions:

am -i arch-deployer

2. WGET THE SCRIPT DIRECTLY

You can obtain and run the script locally, this way:

wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ivan-hc/Arch-Deployer/main/arch-deployer && chmod a+x ./arch-deployer

3. ARCH USER REPOSITORY (AUR)

Using an AUR helper, for example

paru -S arch-deployer-git

NOTE: I'm not the maintainer of any AUR script.

USAGE:

• arch-deployer $PROGRAM (download a program)
• arch-deployer -v (show the version)
• arch-deployer -h (show this message)

All packages are taken from https://archlinux.org/packages, AUR packages are taken from "chaotic-aur" instead, at https://builds.garudalinux.org/repos/chaotic-aur (uncomment line 7 for this)
