164+ Installing on Arch Linux via the AUR
165+ ----------------------------------------
166+
167+ On Arch Linux and Arch-based distributions, OpenMC can be installed from the
168+ `Arch User Repository (AUR) <https://aur.archlinux.org/ >`_. An AUR package named
169+ ``openmc-git `` is available, which builds OpenMC directly from the latest
170+ development sources.
171+
172+ This package provides a full-featured OpenMC stack, including:
173+
174+ * MPI and DAGMC-enabled OpenMC build
175+ * User-selected nuclear data libraries
176+ * The `CAD_to_OpenMC <https://github.com/united-neux/CAD_to_OpenMC> ` meshing tool
177+ * All required dependencies for the above components
178+
179+ To install the package, you will need an AUR helper such as `yay `_ or `paru `_.
180+ For example, using ``yay ``:
181+
182+ .. code-block :: sh
183+
184+ yay -S openmc-git
185+
186+ Alternatively, you can manually clone and build the package:
187+
188+ .. code-block :: sh
189+
190+ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/openmc-git.git
191+ cd openmc-git
192+ makepkg -si
193+
194+ The PKGBUILD will automatically handle all required dependencies and build
195+ OpenMC with MPI and DAGMC support enabled.
196+
197+ .. note ::
198+
199+ The ``openmc-git `` package tracks the latest development version from the
200+ upstream repository. As such, it may include new features and bug fixes, but
201+ could also introduce instability compared to official releases.
202+
203+ .. tip ::
204+
205+ OpenMC is installed under ``/opt ``. If you are installing and using it in the
206+ same terminal session, you may need to reload your environment variables:
207+
208+ .. code-block :: sh
209+
210+ source /etc/profile
211+
212+ Alternatively, start a new shell session.
213+
214+ Once installed, the ``openmc `` executable, nuclear data libraries, and
215+ associated tools will be available in your system PATH.
