1 Introduction
Arch Linux is a rolling source-based distribution. It has an official package manager called 'pacman' and its extension 'yaourt' that installs community contributed software packages. The packages installed in this distribution are source-code based, which means that the distribution always gives access to the newest software versions. This can cause some problems when building and installing foam-extend, as for example PyFoam has been ported to Python 3 (see) but not been tested under working conditions.
2 Installing rpm-org
Install rpm-org, and remove rpm if you have it already installed.
yaourt -R rpm yaourt -S rpm-org
3 Installing and configuring virtualenv python virtual environment
Arch uses Python 3.*, and foam-extend relies on Python 2.*. To easily switch between python versions, virtualenv is recommended.
Install easy_install
yaourt -S python-setuptools
Install virtualenv:
sudo easy_install virtualenv
Configure the python2.7 environment for foamext:
virtualenv -p python2.7 --no-site-packages ~/env/foamext
Source the python2.7 environment for foamext:
source ~/env/foamext/bin/activate
4 Building foam-extend
Once virtualenv and rpm-org are installed and virtualenv is activated as shown above, follow the tutorial that shows how to build foam-extend on Linux, the rest of the steps are exactly the same as shown there.
5 Arch Linux Versions
5.1 Manjaro Linux
The official website for Manjaro is this: Manjaro Linux
Here you have a few choices:
- You can install from source, by either:
- Following the available official instructions from one of these repositories:
- Building Instructions for Manjaro Linux at the official Extend repository
- Building Instructions for Manjaro Linux at repo.or.cz mirror
- Building Instructions for Manjaro Linux at Unofficial-Extend-Project-Mirror@github mirror
- Note: Before following any of the instructions above, check the section Note regarding foam-extend-3.0
