Sonarr is a popular open-source TV show manager and downloader. It can be installed on Arch Linux to help you manage your TV shows and download new episodes as they become available.
Here are the steps you need to take to install Sonarr on Arch Linux.
Since Sonarr is written in C#, it requires the Mono runtime to run on Linux. To install Mono, simply run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S mono
This will download and install the latest version of Mono on your system.
Next, we need to add the Sonarr repository to our system. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
echo -e "[Sonarr]\nSigLevel = Optional TrustAll\nServer = https://apt.sonarr.tv/arch/sonarr\n" | sudo tee -a /etc/pacman.conf
This will add the Sonarr repository to your pacman.conf file.
After adding the Sonarr repository, we need to update our package list using the following command:
sudo pacman -Sy
This will ensure that our system has the latest list of available packages, including Sonarr.
Now that we have updated our package list, we can install Sonarr by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S sonarr
This will download and install the latest version of Sonarr on your system.
After installing Sonarr, we need to start it up and enable it to run at startup. To do this, run the following two commands:
sudo systemctl start sonarr
sudo systemctl enable sonarr
This will start Sonarr and enable it to run automatically at startup.
Now that Sonarr is installed and running, we can access it from a web browser by visiting http://localhost:8989/ on your Arch Linux machine. You should be able to start managing your TV shows and downloading new episodes through Sonarr.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Sonarr on Arch Linux!
