Installing SLIM ? instead of KDM etc... "SOLVED"

I see it in the AUR but only as a tar file , do I need to compile this from source or is there a PKGBUILD for it ,

thanks inadvance,

slim is in the [community] repo. To install it, you need to activate the repo first, by editing /etc/pacman.conf - the community section should look like this:

[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/community

Then do

pacman -Sy slim

Thanks for the lightning response. I'll check my pacman.conf now .
