Arch linux - Download AUR

Wed Aug 01, 2012 3:47 pm

I would post this in the arch section but I thought it was a bit to general linux for it

I am trying to make a basic install with OMXplayer on it that I can trigger from a button to make a sort of video sampler.

I have used the sparkfun tutorial upto just before installing the window manager (to step 9 )
https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/372

so now I want to install the binary from AUR
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=59053

so I am connected via eithernet and (from memory) I did

Code: Select all

mkdir ~/omx
cd ~/omx
wget http://seyrsnys.myzen.co.uk/rpi/omxplayer-bin-2012-05-06.tar.xz
tar -xvzf omxplayer-bin-2012-05-06.tar.xz
but it keeps telling me that it is not not in gzip format??? all I need is a hint!
