If you are running Arch Linux, you can install
`mopidy <https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/mopidy/>`_
from the "Community" repository, as well as
many extensions from AUR.


Install from Community
======================

#. To install Mopidy with all dependencies, you can use::

       pacman -S mopidy

   To upgrade Mopidy to future releases, just upgrade your system using::

       pacman -Syu

#. Now, you're ready to :ref:`run Mopidy <running>`.


Installing extensions
=====================

If you want to use any Mopidy extensions, like Spotify support or Last.fm
scrobbling, AUR has packages for many `Mopidy extensions
<https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?K=mopidy>`_.

To install one of the listed packages, e.g. ``mopidy-mpd``, simply run::

   yay -S mopidy-mpd

If you cannot find the extension you want in AUR, you can
install it from PyPI using ``pip`` instead.
Even if Mopidy itself is installed with pacman it will correctly detect and use
extensions from PyPI installed globally on your system using::

   sudo python3 -m pip install ...

For a comprehensive index of available Mopidy extensions,
including those not installable from AUR,
see the `Mopidy extension registry <https://mopidy.com/ext/>`_.
