Trizen – Another AUR Helper

Are you an Arch Linux user? Then you definitely have taken the service of the AUR repository. It’s an amazing place where you can get a number of additional tools and software for the Arch Linux that are not present in the default Arch Linux repository.

Well, working with the AUR repository is nothing difficult but requires a little bit of additional work. For making things easier, we got the AUR helpers like Yaourt and Pacaur etc. Today, we’ll be having a look at the Trizen – another powerful and simple AUR helper.

Getting Trizen

Like all the AUR packages, Trizen is also hosted on the AUR repository. There are 2 ways of getting Trizen ready in your system – using an AUR helper or building it by ourselves.

Let’s get started.
