Cannot find 'sslocal' command after installing shadowsocks-libev

I just simply followed the Wiki's instructions:

$ sudo pacman -S shadowsocks-libev

After installation, I cannot find the 'sslocal' command. What's the problem?

The wiki seems wrong.  You can always check what is installed with a package with `pacman -Ql <pkgname>`

Or for the executable files `pacman -Ql <pkgname> | grep bin`

$ sslocal
sslocal may be found in the following packages:
  community/shadowsocks 2.9.1-1 /usr/bin/sslocal

wiki is recently changed, as older version downloaded with arch-wiki-docs suggest to install shadowsocks only.

Thanks! However, I still have two more questions.

1. I have noted that the github wiki page has also been updated, and its version is newer than that in the Arch Official Repository. Should I use the method on github or use pacman instead.

2. I want to install Chrome through AUR, but there is some files that I cannot download. How can I convert Shadowsocks into an HTTP proxy?
