Paktahn Quickinstaller

Here’s a one-liner that will install Paktahn.

It will add the Paktahn binary repository to /etc/pacman.conf and run Pacman to install Paktahn.

wget -qO- http://viridian-project.de/\~sky/paktahn/quickinstall.sh | sudo sh

You just need to paste this line into a terminal. Review the script here, it’s very simple:

Paktahn 0.8.1 released

The next version of Paktahn is ready.

Just sync-install your Paktahn package; rc testers will have to remove and reinstall explicitly.

New users should refer to the original blog post for instructions.
