These packages are for the Arch Linux ARM (ALARM) variant of Asahi Linux.

curl https://asahi-alarm.org/installer-bootstrap.sh | sh

Follow the installation instructions in the script to the letter.

We have pre-built images for GNOME and KDE (Plasma). If you want something else, choose the Minimal install and follow the manual installation steps.

If you already have the (old) Asahi Linux Arch variant installed, you can follow the steps below to upgrade to our new packages.

1. First import the signing key

sudo pacman-key --recv-keys 12CE6799A94A3F1B5DDFFE88F576553597FB8FEB
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 12CE6799A94A3F1B5DDFFE88F576553597FB8FEB

2. Create file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.asahi-alarm with the following contents

Server = https://github.com/asahi-alarm/asahi-alarm/releases/download/$arch

3. Edit /etc/pacman.conf and remove the [asahi] section then add this section:

[asahi-alarm]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.asahi-alarm

You can delete /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.asahi now.

4. Install the new keyring package (will replace the legacy asahilinux-keyring):

sudo pacman -S asahi-alarm-keyring

5. Update

sudo pacman -Syyu

We now also have steam support! Check the Fedora Asahi announcement for details on how it works.

If you are on our new repo, you can just

sudo pacman -Sy steam

This should install the steam launcher and all required components.

Notes:

• on some systems xhost + maybe necessary first fixed
• on some systems echo "nameserver 1.1.1.1 | sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf may be necessary. (pro tip: set this DNS server in your DHCP server/router)
