The project site is hosted at https://octopiproject.wordpress.com

Currently, 10 Linux distros are compatible with it

• [Antergos] (https://antergos.com/)
• [ArchBang] (http://bbs.archbang.org/)
• [Arch] (https://www.archlinux.org/)
• [ArchBSD] (https://pacbsd.org/)
• [Chakra] (https://chakralinux.org/)
• [KaOS] (http://kaosx.us/)
• [Manjaro] (http://manjaro.github.io/)
• [mooOS] (http://mooos.org/)
• [Netrunner (rolling)] (http://www.netrunner.com/netrunner-rolling-release/)
• [Parabola GNU/Linux-libre] (http://www.parabola.nu/https/)

You'll need:

• [Alpm_octopi_utils] (https://github.com/aarnt/alpm_octopi_utils/) library
• A privilege escalation tool to use it, once running as root will ONLY work in KDE. Octopi supports gksu, kdesu and lxqt-sudo for that

Assuming you have Qt5 libs properly installed, go to the directory where the code is located:

$ cd OCTOPI_PATH
$ qmake-qt5
$ make

You can also use the available PKGBUILD script that helps you build Octopi with all its tools:

$ cd OCTOPI_PATH
$ makepkg -f

To enable AUR support, you'll need to install "yaourt" or "pacaur" in your system.
In Chakra, "chaser" will be supported out of the box.
In KaOS, "kcp" will be supported out of the box.
