# This is arson 2.0, the hot AUR search helper!

There is 3 functions of arson:

* Searching

* Downloading

* Updating

## Getting arson

You can get arson 2 ways:

* As a Ruby gem

      gem install evaryont-arson --source http://gems.github.com

* Cloning the git repository

      git clone git://github.com/evaryont/arson.git

## Using arson

### Searching

arson's default fall back action. If arson doesn't understand your parameters,

it will search the AUR with them (after URL escaping them) and display the

results to you, in color.

### Downloading

To download a package, pass `-d` to arson. Any other arguments will be converted

into package names and arson will try to download a package with that exact

name. e.g.:

	arson -d arson # Downloads the package "arson"

	arson -d pacman color # Downloads the packages "pacman" and "color"

arson won't perform any clean up on the passed parameters, so (using the 2nd

example) arson will try to find the 'pacman' and 'color' packages while you

probably meant the 'pacman-color' package.

### Updating

If you pass `-u` to arson, it will search through the locally installed foreign

packages (as reported by `pacman -Qm`) and return a list of possible updates

available in the AUR.

You can not pass anything or pass `-h` or `--help` to arson to get a quick summary of

these options.

## Configuration

arson has a configuration file located at `~/.arson.yaml`. Look at the

[wiki page](http://wiki.github.com/evaryont/arson/config) for details about

what each option does.
