The project site is hosted on https://tintaescura.com/projects/octopi
Currently, 9 Linux distros are compatible with it
You'll need:
- Alpm_octopi_utils library
- A helper to execute pacman commands called "octphelper", available on "./helper" dir
- A priviledge escalation tool called "octopi-sudo", available on "./sudo" dir
- qtermwidget >= 0.14.1 in order to build Octopi with embedded terminal support
Assuming you have Qt5 libs properly installed, go to the directory where the code is located:
$ cd OCTOPI_PATH
$ qmake-qt5
$ make
You can also use the available PKGBUILD script that helps you build Octopi with all its tools:
$ cd OCTOPI_PATH
$ makepkg -f
To enable AUR support, you'll need to install yaourt, pacaur, pikaur, trizen or yay in your system. If neither of the previous tools are found Octopi will download latest "yay-bin" github binary. In Chakra, chaser will be supported out of the box. In KaOS, kcp will be supported out of the box.
