Codeium Windsurf AI Editor - AUR Package

⚠️ Disclaimer

This repository does not maintain or develop the Codeium Windsurf AI Editor. It simply provides an AUR package to facilitate installation for Arch Linux users. The package consists of precompiled binaries sourced from the official Codeium website.

For issues related to the editor itself, visit the official Codeium website.

📦 About

Codeium Windsurf AI Editor is a standalone code editor based on VS Code, designed to work seamlessly with Codeium's AI-powered coding assistance. However, its official distribution only provides a tarball download without proper integration into package managers like pacman.

This repository exists only to automate the process of installing Codeium Windsurf AI Editor via the AUR.

This PKGBUILD was inspired by:

• vscodium PKGBUILD for handling prebuilt binaries efficiently.
• windsurf PKGBUILD by Chris Watson <[email protected]>, used as a reference.

🛠 Key Improvements in This PKGBUILD:

✅ Correct meta-information (AppStream, MIME types, and desktop entry)
✅ Proper URL handling (desktop file integration)
✅ Bash & Zsh completions for better shell support
✅ Improved icon resolution for better desktop integration

🏗️ Installation (AUR)

You can install it using an AUR helper like yay:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/windsurf-bin.git

makepkg -si

Or clone directly from Github:

git clone https://github.com/samex/windsurf-ai-arch-linux.git

🔄 Updating

Since this package pulls prebuilt binaries, updates depend on new tarball releases from the official Codeium website. If a new version is released and not yet reflected in the AUR package, feel free to submit a pull request or flag the package as outdated.
