miaur

A lightweight AUR helper written in pure Bash. No helper compilation required.

Its everyday commands follow paru, including -Syu, -S, -Ss, -Qua, and -G.

Install

git clone https://github.com/WHC2006/miaur.git
cd miaur
./install.sh

One command:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WHC2006/miaur/main/install.sh)

Install for the current user under ~/.local:

./install.sh --user

The installer adds the required packages automatically: base-devel, git, curl, and jq.

Usage

miaur                 # Upgrade everything (same as -Syu)
miaur foo             # Search and select packages interactively
miaur -S <package>    # Install a package
miaur -Ss <query>     # Search packages
miaur -Qua            # List available AUR upgrades
miaur -Sua            # Upgrade AUR packages only
miaur -G <package>    # Download a PKGBUILD

Run miaur -h for more options.

Configuration

The optional configuration file is ~/.config/miaur/miaur.conf. See config/miaur.conf.example.
