Martin von Zweigbergk 3dad9d4a98 docs: make "Arch Linux" a subheading under "Linux"
I think this is how it was supposed to be. The "From Source" section
applies to non-Arch Linuxes too.

# Installation and setup
## Installation
### Download pre-built binaries for a release
There are [pre-built binaries](https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/releases/latest)
of the last released version of `jj` for Windows, Mac, or Linux (the "musl"
version should work on all distributions).
If you'd like to install a prerelease version, you'll need to use one of the
options below.
#### Cargo Binstall
If you use [`cargo-binstall`](https://github.com/cargo-bins/cargo-binstall), you
can install the same binaries of the last `jj` release from GitHub as follows:
```shell
# Will put the jj binary for the latest release in ~/.cargo/bin by default
cargo binstall --strategies crate-meta-data jj-cli
```
Without the `--strategies` option, you may get equivalent binaries that should
be compiled from the same source code.
### Linux
#### Arch Linux
You can install the `jujutsu` package from the [official extra repository](https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/jujutsu/):
```
pacman -S jujutsu
```
Or install from the [AUR repository](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jujutsu-git) with an [AUR Helper](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_helpers):
```
yay -S jujutsu-git
```
#### From Source
First make sure that you have the `libssl-dev`, `openssl`, `pkg-config`, and
`build-essential` packages installed by running something like this:
```shell
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev openssl pkg-config build-essential
```
Now run either:
```shell
# To install the *prerelease* version from the main branch
cargo install --git https://github.com/martinvonz/jj.git --locked --bin jj jj-cli
```
or:
```shell
# To install the latest release
cargo install --locked --bin jj jj-cli
```
#### Nix OS
If you're on Nix OS you can install a **released** version of `jj` using the
[nixpkgs `jujutsu` package](https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&show=jujutsu).
To install a **prerelease** version, you can use the flake for this repository.
For example, if you want to run `jj` loaded from the flake, use:
```shell
nix run 'github:martinvonz/jj'
```
You can also add this flake url to your system input flakes. Or you can
install the flake to your user profile:
```shell
# Installs the prerelease version from the main branch
nix profile install 'github:martinvonz/jj'
```
#### Homebrew
If you use linuxbrew, you can run:
```shell
# Installs the latest release
brew install jj
```
### Mac
#### From Source
You may need to run some or all of these:
```shell
xcode-select --install
brew install openssl
brew install pkg-config
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$(brew --prefix)/opt/openssl@3/lib/pkgconfig"
```
Now run either:
```shell
# To install the *prerelease* version from the main branch
cargo install --git https://github.com/martinvonz/jj.git --locked --bin jj jj-cli
```
or:
```shell
# To install the latest release
cargo install --locked --bin jj jj-cli
```
#### Homebrew
If you use Homebrew, you can run:
```shell
# Installs the latest release
brew install jj
```
#### MacPorts
You can also install `jj` via [the MacPorts `jujutsu`
port](https://ports.macports.org/port/jujutsu/):
```shell
# Installs the latest release
sudo port install jujutsu
```
### Windows
Run either:
```shell
# To install the *prerelease* version from the main branch
cargo install --git https://github.com/martinvonz/jj.git --locked --bin jj jj-cli --features vendored-openssl
```
or:
```shell
# To install the latest release
cargo install --locked --bin jj jj-cli --features vendored-openssl
```
## Initial configuration
You may want to configure your name and email so commits are made in your name.
```shell
$ jj config set --user user.name "Martin von Zweigbergk"
$ jj config set --user user.email "martinvonz@google.com"
```
## Command-line completion
To set up command-line completion, source the output of
`jj util completion bash/zsh/fish`. Exactly how to source it
depends on your shell.
### Bash
```shell
source <(jj util completion bash)
```
### Zsh
```shell
autoload -U compinit
compinit
source <(jj util completion zsh)
```
### Fish
```shell
jj util completion fish | source
```
### Nushell
```nu
jj util completion nushell | save completions-jj.nu
use completions-jj.nu * # Or `source completions-jj.nu`
```
### Xonsh
```shell
source-bash $(jj util completion)
```
