kraileth Moved content over from "InstallingOnArch" since this page doesn't neccessarily have to deal only with installation but with any distro specific things.

-====== EDE on Arch Linux ====== 
  
-When installing ''​EDE''​ on an [[https://​www.archlinux.org/​|Arch Linux]] machine you can choose between using a custom repository provided by ''​EDE''​ or building the packages yourself. Using the former method, Arch's package manager ([[https://​wiki.archlinux.org/​index.php/​Pacman|pacman]]) can take care of updating ''​EDE''​ if a new version is released on the ''​EDE''​ repository. 
- 
-===== Installing pre-built packages ===== 
- 
-**Note: All packages in the ''​EDE''​ repository are currently //​unsigned//​!** 
- 
-Installing EDE can be done in 4 simple steps: 
-  - Open your pacman configuration file (///​etc/​pacman.conf//​) with your favorite editor 
-  - Add the following lines to it (you can just leave the //$arch// variable as it is; your system knows it): <​code>​ 
-  [ede] 
-  SigLevel = Never 
-  Server = http://​www.equinox-project.org/​repos/​arch/​$arch 
-</​code>​ 
-  - Update pacman database files by invoking: **pacman -Syy** 
-  - Simply install ''​EDE''​ like any other package. E.g.: **pacman -S ede** 
- 
-==== Packages available ==== 
- 
-''​EDE''​ for Arch is currently split into four packages: 
- 
-  * **edelib** - ''​EDE'''​s support library which implements functions not provided by ''​FLTK''​ 
-  * **ede-common** - Platform independent data for ''​EDE''​ (e.g. icons) 
-  * **ede** - ''​EDE''​ and ''​PekWM''​ binaries 
-  * **ede-wallpapers** - __Optional__ wallpaper package 
- 
-==== Trouble shooting ==== 
- 
-If you're experiencing difficulties in installing from the repository, it might help tp add the lines mentioned above at the beginning of the file //​pacman.conf//​ instead of appending them at the end. 
- 
-===== Building / installing from source ====== 
- 
-For Arch Linux there are two //​PKGBUILD//​ files available in the [[https://​aur.archlinux.org/​|AUR]]:​ **edelib** and **ede**. You can download those and use the [[https://​wiki.archlinux.org/​index.php/​ABS|Arch Build System]] to create packages yourself (this will currently create only two packages instead of four as in our repository). 
- 
-Alternatively you can of course follow the generic building procedure, too: InstallingFromSource. 
- 
-===== Starting EDE ===== 
- 
-You can either use a graphical login manager to bring up ''​EDE''​ or simply use ''​Xorg'''​s //startx// command. 
- 
-:!: **Make sure you have installed the package //​xorg-xinit//​ in the later case. It is not part of //​xorg-server//​ on ''​Arch Linux''​!** 
- 
-If you want to use //startx//, just create a new file **.xinitrc** with the content //exec startede// in your home directory. You can do so with the following command: 
- 
-<​code>​ 
-cd ~ && echo "exec startede"​ > .xinitrc 
-</​code>​
