Arch Linux Install Guide

#Arch Linux Installation

Step 1: System Pre-requirements

A few system packages need to be installed before we can install the risu gem. These packages include packages that RVM recommends to have installed also. Select Yes to any extra packages it adds. As root execute the following:

# pacman -Sy --noconfirm gcc glibc patch curl zlib readline libxml2 libxslt git autoconf automake diffutils make libtool bison subversion imagemagick openssl sqlite libyaml ncurses libmysqlclient gsfonts

Step 2: Install RVM

Follow the instructions here to setup a working RVM environment. The following is a quick list of commands to install it, check the site for the latest. As your user run the following:

% curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
% source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
% rvm install 1.9.2
% rvm use 1.9.2 --default

Step 3: Install Risu

Risu is configured to auto install any dependent gems that is depends on, this makes installation much easier.

% gem install risu

Step 4: Test Risu

To test and see if the install run the following command

% risu -v

You should see output like the following:

% risu -v
risu: 1.5.2
