4 hours ago 3

Hostinger Web Hosting

A simple yet functional AUR helper in Bash for Arch Linux.

rua is a lightweight AUR helper that automates:

Cloning AUR packages into ~/rua/
Building and installing with makepkg -sic

No unnecessary prompts—just fast AUR package installation.

Arch Linux or Arch-based distribution
Bash shell
Root privileges

git clone https://github.com/antonio-foti/rua.git cd rua chmod +x rua sudo cp rua /usr/local/bin/

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/rua

All AUR packages are stored in:

~/rua/ ├── package1/ ├── package2/ └── ...

Auto-cloning into ~/rua/
One-step install & cleanup (makepkg -sic)
Not a full AUR manager (no updates/search)
