+aliBuild prerequisites for ArchLinux
+=================================
+
+ALICE software on ArchLinux is supported on a best effort basis. There is no guarantee that software builds or runs correctly. Support requests might have low priority.
+
+## Install or Upgrade the Required Packages
+
+With root permissions, i.e. `sudo` or as `root` install the prerequisites using:
+
+```bash
+pacman -S git python3 python-pip which gcc \
+          make gcc-fortran \
+          base-level libxpm libxft glu gsl \
+          libuv tbb xerces-c re2 libwebsockets grpc
+```
+
+You are now ready to [start building ALICE software](README.md#get-or-upgrade-alibuild)
