If you love byobu, & u just decided to join the archers, you probably will miss it as you can’t simply do sudo pacman -S byobu, since the package isn’t available on any of the offcial repositories.

DO NOT DESPAIR, there is an unofficial package at the aur (Arch User Repository). Just goto aur to search for it, & copy the link to the tarball, then:

1
2
3
4
5

$ cd /tmp
$ wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/by/byobu/byobu.tar.gz
$ tar zxf byobu.tar.gz
$ cd byobu
$ makepkg

Depending on how mature ur system is, you may be prompted to manually install some extra dependencies, note these & run:

1

$ sudo pacman -S <DEPENDENCIES>

With all dependencies installed, then:

1
2

$ makepkg
$ pacman -U *.xz

And you can start to rock-&-roll :)
