Installation: Archlinux

This page describes how to install sup 0.21.x on an up-to-date Archlinux system.

Install System packages

Install the base-devel group by running:

pacman -S base-devel

This contains Ruby, and rubygems.

Install sup via rubygems

This should be easy:

gem install sup

If you run into errors, particularly getting stuck on building the xapian-ruby native extension, you may find it helpful to install xapian-ruby first:

gem install xapian-ruby
gem install sup
