AUR for Ubuntu

PACSTALL

The AUR Ubuntu never had

Pacstall will attempt to become the AUR Ubuntu wishes it had. It takes the AUR and puts a spin on it, making it easier to install programs without scouring github repos and the likes

Installing

You can grab the deb file here although they aren't as up to date as running one of the commands below. If that's not your thing you can run this command:

sudo bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://git.io/JsADh || wget -q https://git.io/JsADh -O -)"

Misc

Zsh auto completion

Zsh can emulate bash completion scripts by default so all you have to do is add these to your .zshrc or wherever you source things:

autoload bashcompinit
bashcompinit
source /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/pacstall
