Binary Packages

Binary packages can be retrieved from the theSuite repository. This also has the advantage of easier updating with pacman.

1. Add the theSuite repository to your system.
   Edit /etc/pacman.conf and add the following at the bottom:
   [theapps]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = https://packages.vicr123.com/arch/$arch/

2. Force an update of the system and all repositores pacman -Syyu
3. Install theDesk (and associated utilities) pacman -S thedesk contemporary-icons ttf-contemporary tsscreenlock

If you'd like to use the AUR instead, install the thedesk package from the Arch User Repository.
Use of an AUR helper is recommended as there are a lot of dependencies to install.
