Installation methods
To obtain the script you can run multiple methods, the main three are:
- Using "AM", the Application Manager (recommended)
- Using "wget" (locally)
- 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 ("sudo" is needed only to install/remove the programs):
-
TO INSTALL ARCH-DEPLOYER
sudo am -i arch-deployer -
TO UPDATE IT (without "sudo", this command will also update other programs managed by "AM")
am -u -
TO REMOVE IT:
sudo am -r arch-deployer
2. WGET THE SCRIPT DIRECTLY
You can obtain and run the script locally, this way:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ivan-hc/Arch-Deployer/main/arch-deployer
chmod a+x ./arch-deployer
Perform the same commands periodically to get the latest versio of this script.
3. ARCH USER REPOSITORY (AUR)
Using our favorite AUR helper, ie
paru -S arch-deployer-git
NOTE: I'm not the maintainer of any AUR script.
