Nheko requires a secret server to run, so you'll need to install and configure a service such as [KDE Wallet](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE_Wallet) or [GNOME Keyring](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Keyring) if not provided by your desktop environment.
Binary releases of the stable builds are available (using [Open Build Service](https://build.opensuse.org/)). To add this [unofficial repository](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unofficial_user_repositories), execute the following block after reviewing the [PKGBUILD and service files](https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:digital_mystik:AUR/nheko):
Server = https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/digital_mystik:/AUR/Arch/x86_64/' | sudo tee --append /etc/pacman.conf
sudo pacman -Syu nheko
```
This imports the repository's public PGP key and locally signs it, adds the pertinent entry to `/etc/pacman.conf`, and installs nheko after updating the databases/system; one can now treat nheko as a typical package.
To undo these changes, delete the repository entry from `/etc/pacman.conf`, and remove the public signing key with `sudo pacman-key -d 4D41B287F3ABC4B8`.
