How do I install Eruption on CachyOS?

Run this in a terminal, then open Eruption from your app menu:

sudo pacman -S eruption

eruption is in the cachyos repo, the CachyOS project's own package repository, so pacman installs it directly with no AUR helper and no build script. The package is signed with the CachyOS repository key, and pacman checks the signature before it installs.

What should I do after installing Eruption?

  1. Open Eruption from your app menu.
  2. It installs these commands: eruption, eruption-audio-proxy, eruption-cmd, eruption-debug-tool, eruption-fx-proxy and eruption-gui-gtk3 and more.
  3. The package ships the systemd units eruption-audio-proxy.service, eruption-fx-proxy.service, eruption-hotplug-helper.service and eruption-process-monitor.service. Read the project docs before you enable them.
  4. Run pacman -Qi eruption to see the installed version and the optional dependencies.

How do I update or remove Eruption?

Update:

sudo pacman -Syu

Remove:

sudo pacman -Rns eruption

    Eruption on CachyOS: questions

    Is Eruption in the official CachyOS repo?

    Yes. The eruption package is in the cachyos repo, version 0.3.6-3, built 2026-07-30. Install it with sudo pacman -S eruption.

    Do I need an AUR helper for Eruption?

    No. It comes from the cachyos repo, so plain pacman installs and updates it, and sudo pacman -Syu keeps it current.

    What is the Eruption command?

    The package installs eruption, eruption-audio-proxy, eruption-cmd, eruption-debug-tool, eruption-fx-proxy and eruption-gui-gtk3 and more.
