Install INDI on Arch Linux

You can install INDI core & INDI 3rd party drivers on Arch Linux & Derivatives like Manjaro & Antergos. If you plan to use KStars as your INDI client, then it is recommended to install the KStars Flatpak, which is available for all Linux distributions. The Flatpak already includes INDI core and INDI 3rd party drivers. If you do not want to install KStars, then you can install INDI directly on Arch using the following commands:

1. Install INDI & KStars

sudo pacman -Syu sudo pacman -S --needed kstars breeze-icons yaourt binutils patch cmake make libraw libindi gpsd gcc yaourt -Sya --noconfirm libindi_3rdparty

2. Astrometry.net

yaourt -Sya sextractor-bin yaourt -Sya astrometry.net

Determine what Index files you require and then download them. Or you can use KStars to download them for you.
