Install Antigravity On Arch Linux

Use this skill only for Arch Linux and Arch-based distros. Do not use it for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, macOS, or Windows.

Choose the install mode

• Use --system when the user wants a normal package-manager install and sudo is available.
• Use --local when the user does not want to enter a sudo password or only needs Antigravity for the current user.

Commands

System-wide install:

bash scripts/install_antigravity_arch.sh --system

User-local install without sudo:

bash scripts/install_antigravity_arch.sh --local

What the script does

For --system:

• requires yay or paru
• installs the antigravity AUR package
• leaves updates to the package manager

For --local:

• downloads the current AUR snapshot for antigravity
• builds the package as the current user with makepkg
• extracts the built package into ~/.local/opt/Antigravity-<version>
• creates ~/.local/bin/antigravity
• creates user-local desktop entries and icon files
• refreshes desktop and MIME caches when the tools are available

Validate the install

Run:

which antigravity
antigravity --version

If it is a local install, which antigravity should point to ~/.local/bin/antigravity.

GNOME Wayland note

If Antigravity opens with a custom title bar that is hard to move on GNOME Wayland, create or update ~/.config/Antigravity/User/settings.json with:

{
  "window.titleBarStyle": "native",
  "window.customTitleBarVisibility": "never"
}

Then restart Antigravity.

Boundaries

• Do not claim non-Arch instructions are covered by this skill.
• Do not embed passwords or secrets into the flow.
• Do not use destructive package-manager cleanup commands unless the user explicitly asks.
