title: Install usrgrp-manager
---

# Install

Choose one of the methods below depending on your environment.

## Arch Linux (AUR)

Packages are available in the AUR:

- `usrgrp-manager-bin` – prebuilt binaries
- `usrgrp-manager-git` – latest from main branch

Using an AUR helper (example with `yay`):

```bash
yay -S usrgrp-manager-bin
# or
yay -S usrgrp-manager-git
```

Using `makepkg` manually:

```bash
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/usrgrp-manager-bin.git
cd usrgrp-manager-bin
makepkg -si
```

## Build from source (any Linux)

Prerequisites:

- Rust toolchain (install via `https://rustup.rs`)
- A C toolchain and standard build utilities provided by your distro

Clone and build:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/firstpick/usrgrp-manager.git
cd usrgrp-manager
cargo build --release
```

The binary will be at `target/release/usrgrp-manager`. Optionally install system-wide:

```bash
sudo install -Dm755 target/release/usrgrp-manager /usr/local/bin/usrgrp-manager
```

## Running

Viewing can be done unprivileged, but applying changes typically requires root:

```bash
sudo usrgrp-manager
```
