[serverman]

sorry i looked at opera's site and i cant find a download for arch linux, so then i checked pacman... didnt find it and i went back to opera's website and couldn't find the source download (i am sure i am just over looking it) can some one tell me were it is. sorry ive looked for like an hour now and i feel stupid because i know there has to be a source installer or an installer for arch linux.

AFAIK Opera is not OSS.

Welcome to the forums!

Arch has an Opera package in AUR along with lots of other packages that you might be interested in:

AUR (en) - opera

If you aren't sure how to install from a package build, follow these steps:


Go to AUR, find the desired package.

Click on the link where it says "tarball".

Download and Extract the tarball. This should create a directory.

Enter that directory (cd to that directory).

type 'makepkg'

after the compilation finishes, you should have a file ending in .pkg.tar.gz

install that file with pacman as follows...

'pacman -U filename.pkg.tar.gz'

Installation should now be complete if all went as planned.

You are correct, they use a license called Opera. But they do have a Linux build available.

Correct, there is Opera for Linux.
OP asked for source download. Opera comes as blob.

I suggest using yaourt ... once you have yaourt installed then

yaourt -S opera

should do the job

[regexorcist]

I use opera... installed it from source, before I learned of yaourt.

yaourt is an awesome tool, it tells you if an app is "installed"
on a simple search (-Ss) and I like the pretty colors.

NOTE:
1.) Use yaourt as a user and not root.
2.) Don't expect all the AUR packages to work, or you'll be disappointed
