IDA Pro 9.1 Installation on Arch Linux Effortlessly

IDA Pro 9.1 Installation on Arch Linux Effortlessly

Introduction

IDA Pro 9.1.250226 is a crucial tool for reverse engineering, but installing it on Arch Linux used to be a hassle. The ida-pro package on the AUR required you to manually download the installer and place it next to the PKGBUILD file, making it impossible to use AUR helpers like yay for a fully automated install.

This guide introduces a new, automated way to install IDA Pro on Arch Linux using an updated PKGBUILD that fetches the installer for you.

Prerequisites

  • Arch Linux system
  • Basic knowledge of using the terminal
  • git and base-devel packages installed

How to Install

  1. Clone the repository:
    1
    2
    
     git clone https://gitlab.com/fr0stb1rd/aur-ida-pro.git
     cd aur-ida-pro
    
  2. Build and install the package:
    1
    
     makepkg -sicf
    

This command will automatically download the installer, build the package, and install IDA Pro on your system. No manual file moving required!
