Packaging status

Arch Linux

Linutil can be installed on Arch Linux with three different AUR packages:

  • linutil - Stable release compiled from source
  • linutil-bin - Stable release pre-compiled
  • linutil-git - Compiled from the last commit (not recommended)

by running:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/<package>.git
cd <package>
makepkg -si

Replace <package> with your preferred package.

If you use yay, paru or any other AUR Helper, it’s even simpler:

paru -S linutil

Replace paru with your preferred helper and linutil with your preferred package.

Linutil can be installed on OpenSUSE with:

sudo zypper install linutil

Cargo

Crates.io Version

Linutil can be installed via Cargo with:

cargo install linutil_tui

Note that crates installed using cargo install require manual updating with cargo install --force (update functionality is included in LinUtil)
