If you want to speed up build time you may want to read CCACHE and AUR (opens new window).

# pacman

WARNING

OBS (opens new window) currently seems to have build issues on Arch Linux. Best use the AUR or the AppImage for now.

Add the following lines to your /etc/pacman.conf with sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf:

[home_pbek_QOwnNotes_Arch_Extra]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pbek:/QOwnNotes/Arch_Extra/$arch

Run the following shell commands to trust the repository:

wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pbek:/QOwnNotes/Arch_Extra/x86_64/home_pbek_QOwnNotes_Arch_Extra.key -O - | sudo pacman-key --add -
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key F2205FB121DF142B31450865A3BA514562A835DB

If the command sudo pacman-key --lsign-key F2205FB121DF142B31450865A3BA514562A835DB fails with a message like: ERROR: FFC43FC94539B8B0 could not be locally signed., you could first find out the actual keyid of the downloaded key, i.e. with the command (and output):

gpg /path/to/downloaded/home_pbek_QOwnNotes_Arch_Extra.key
gpg: WARNING: no command supplied.  Trying to guess what you mean ...
pub   rsa2048 2019-07-31 [SC] [expires: 2021-10-10]

You can now synchronize your package database and install the package with pacman:

sudo pacman -Syy qownnotes
