How to use yaourt install AUR packages?

I am trying to use `yaourt` to install `logstash` on `arch linux`, with the command,
   

yaourt -S logstash

the shell came up with the following,

==> Downloading logstash PKGBUILD from AUR...
x .SRCINFO
x .gitignore
x PKGBUILD
x bundle.config
x logstash-web.service
x logstash.install
x logstash.service
x logstash@.service
x user.conf

I guess "java-runtime-headless" as dependency works too, doesn't? That would reduce the dependencies.

Hi, after update logstash stopped working properly, it can't load via systemd,  when i with manually starting it doesn't work with any of my config files. not sure it it's related to the build or a bug in the new version

Edit:
These are problems in Logstash 2.3 itself (from a topic in elastic forum)

Hi,

logstash seems to be working for me.
Only problem is that it's not in $PATH, so to get it working you need to type the whole path "/opt/logstash/bin/logstash" or add a symbolic link to /usr/bin like:
ln -s /opt/logstash/bin/logstash /usr/bin/logstash

Regards,
Andrea

@andreab82 you'll probably want to use the systemd unit instead.

Hi,

logstash-web.service does not seem to be needed anymore as the Web UI has been completely removed as of version 1.5.

Regards.

( Unsupported package: Potentially dangerous ! )
==> Edit PKGBUILD ? [Y/n] ("A" to abort)
==> ------------------------------------
==>

Please add $VISUAL to your environment variables
for example:
export VISUAL="vim" (in ~/.bashrc)
(replace vim with your favorite editor)

I am wondering why do I need to edit `PKGBUILD` and add `$VISUAL` to environment variables? and how to make yaourt install `AUR` package? I thought its usage is the same as `pacman`.

cheers

Re: How to use yaourt install AUR packages?

This post is a mess. I can't make out what's the problem, what's the question, and what's a bunch of AUR comments. It does look like a typical example of "install yaourt from archlinuxfr first, ask questions later", however.

Read these:

How to use yaourt install AUR packages?

This is like asking how to use a chainsaw to shave your facial hair.  Don't.  Just don't.

Learn to use the AUR with makepkg first.  Read the links provided above.  Then once you've installed at least a few AUR packages with makepkg/pacman, then you can look into AUR helpers - and at that point you should read this page, noting the table at the bottom:
