Build and install the package with the included PKGBUILD, which builds the signed release tag set in `pkgver`: Install [`xidle-inhibit`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xidle-inhibit) from the AUR, for example with aurutils:
``` ```
makepkg -si aur sync xidle-inhibit
pacman -S xidle-inhibit
``` ```
Or, with aurutils, build it into a local repository with `aur build` and install it with pacman. The PKGBUILD builds the signed release tag, so import the signing key first:

### Upgrading from xautolock-inhibit
The package replaces `xautolock-inhibit`. After upgrading, change the `systemctl --user start` line in your window manager's startup, then switch the running daemon:
```
systemctl --user stop xautolock-inhibit
systemctl --user start xidle-inhibit
```
Requests held by the old daemon are taken over if the new one starts within `--restore-window`.
