The Slackware AUR Installing Software Using Slackbuilds

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=anJ1bMSAm8w

Slackware and Slackbuilds are a partnership that many Slackware users rely on. Slackbuilds.org is similar to the AUR that Arch Linux enjoys, but for some reason we don't hear that much about it. • Just like the AUR, Slackbuilds.org gives Slackware users access to a vast quantity of packages and in many ways it is similar in how a user manages it. Build scripts can be downloaded from the repo and used to compile source code, or we can use helper programmes such as • sbopkg and sbotools to automate the process - and even include dependency checking. • In this video I take you through how I use slackbuilds to add packages to my system. • I hope you enjoy the video :-) • If you enjoy my channel and/or find it useful, you can support me in a number of ways. • 1.
