Arch Linux

Install Gnoblin on Arch Linux or CachyOS from the Gnoblin package repository. See platform support for the supported releases and architectures.

Install

1. Download the signing key and check its fingerprint. It must match the one in package repositories:

   ShellCopy

   curl -fsSL -o gnoblin.key https://repo.gnoblin.org/gpg.key
   gpg --show-keys gnoblin.key

2. Trust the key:

   ShellCopy

   sudo pacman-key --add gnoblin.key
   sudo pacman-key --lsign-key "$(gpg --show-keys --with-colons gnoblin.key | awk -F: '/^fpr/ {print $10; exit}')"

3. Add the repository to /etc/pacman.conf, then install Gnoblin:

   ShellCopy

   curl -fsSL https://repo.gnoblin.org/gnoblin/stable/arch/gnoblin.conf | sudo tee -a /etc/pacman.conf
   sudo pacman -Syu gnoblin

To follow the main branch instead of releases, use nightly in the address and gnoblin-nightly.conf as the file name.

Next steps

Install a desktop shell and log in.

Update

sudo pacman -Syu

Log out and back in to use the new version.

Remove

Log in to another session first, then run:

sudo pacman -Rns gnoblin

Your shell and your configuration stay. Remove the shell separately if you do not want it.

See troubleshooting if the session does not start.
