Either use `makepkg -i` to install automatically after building, or `pacman -U foo.pkg.tar.xz` to manually install the built package.

FWIW makepkg -i requires sudo. I don't set up sudo for my user. IMO there are good wikis about building packages, anyway, when I started I was thankful that somebody on the list explained me, how to build dummy packages. IMO using ABS is very pleasant. I used it for Qtractor from svn and btw. I excluded the checksum. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System - Ralf

Seems to me like you'd like an aur tool like 'yaourt' -- then it'd be as simple as 'yaourt -S joe'. Their homepage has installation instructions you can copy and paste as well.

I should say that a AUR tool is only useful for those who understand AUR well. First, he needs to grasp the basics, so he needs to head over to the wiki. -- A: Because it obfuscates the reading.
