Any one out there running Arch or Antergos specifically that has successfully install onionshare from the AUR? I keep getting errors during the install.

Ask on the AUR if you're having problems. There's a much higher chance of someone who uses the software or the maintainer responding to you. That's kinda why the directory is there.

If you're having troubles with the AUR package, there is most likely a solution in the comments on the AUR, or a solution already posted. If the first, comment your issues as well.

Seems someone posted a solution, try it?

I'm having the same issue as @heichblatt using the gui version.undefined> I had to add three packages to my system to get it to work:
pyqt5-common
python-pyqt5
python-qtpy

These should be marked as dependencies :slight_smile:
