Can someone please explain package/aur signing in a simple way? The wiki is too complex for me to understand.

    Feature packed AUR helper

  • You shouldn't have to verify anything manually as a general user for packages. If you're worried about doing something wrong, you can just install packages using a AUR helper such as paru. Just follow the install instructions on github, then run paru --gendb , then you can search and install any packages with paru . For AUR packages it will show you a PKGBUILD which is the script that a volunteer writes that installs the program properly for Arch. It will open the PKGBUILD for you to inspect (you probably don't need to inspect them), you hit q to leave, then you go on your way installing it. You can even install paru (or paru-bin preferably to not have to compile every update) using paru and then it will update itself. That's it. You could use a gui AUR helper, but paru, yay, or pikaur is about as easy as it gets.
