Test Needed - ArchLinux AUR Package

[ErnyTech]

Since many people can not successfully compile mcpelauncher for linux I decided to create a PKGBUILD (AUR Package) to automate compilation and installation, once tested correctly it will be added to the aur repository and maybe even in the official repo.

It is very simple to install with an aur-helper, I recommend yaourt For yaourt just run these commands without sudo or by root user!:

Before doing anything you need to enable the MultiLib repository of ArchLinux (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/multilib#Enabling)

git clone https://gist.github.com/c578cf21ff5249d52cbe1cad2c9f7c17.git mcpepkg yaourt -Pi mcpepkg

For other aur helpers check the related documentation

After installing the package you can start playing right away by running mcpelauncher in an terminal or via the launcher called "MCPE Launcher Linux", if you have already played and you have problems with this package I suggest you remove the ~ /.local/share/mcpelauncher folder before reporting a problem.

For any problem do not hesitate to ask.

Please don't recommend yaourt...

@lucidvillain666 it would be good if you cold list why he shouldn't recommend "yaourt"

It's an awful idea to recommend yaourt because it's extremely insecure. It sources PKGBUILDs before giving the user any opportunity to view the PKGBUILD or decide whether they should run it. The best option was pacaur, but that's currently unmaintained, so I use trizen

AUR Helpers and why yaourt is bad
