How to Install Burp Suite in Arch Linux

Intro: Wanna Install Burp Suite in Arch Linux? Let’s Gooo!

So hey, Aathil Ducky here 👋
I recently moved from Ubuntu to Arch Linux (yeah I know, big boy move).
And guess what? I wanted to install Burp Suite in Arch Linux.

But Google gave me everything except what I wanted. No simple blog, no step-by-step stuff, just chaos.

So, I thought, “Why not write it myself for beginners like me?”
So here’s a chill, funny, and super beginner-friendly blog to install BurpSuite in ArchLinux using YAY.
Let’s hack the planet (legally, of course 😅).

🛠 What is Burp Suite? (In Simple Words)

If you’re into penetration testing, bug bounty, or CTFs,
Burp Suite is like your virtual Swiss army knife.

It helps us:

• Intercept requests
• Manipulate parameters
• Find bugs in web apps
• And look cool while doing it 😎

Step 1: Install YAY Package Manager in Arch Linux

Before we install Burp Suite in Arch Linux,
we need to install yay, the Yet Another Yaourt – cool name, right?

What is YAY?

YAY is a helper tool to easily install AUR (Arch User Repository) packages.
It’s like a genie that says:
“You want that weird tool? Boom! Installed!”

Steps to Install YAY

Open your terminal and run these commands:

sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel
cd /opt
sudo git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER yay
cd yay
makepkg -si

📝 Note: Use sudo carefully, bro. Root powers are like Thanos – snap and poof!

Step 2: Install Burp Suite in Arch Linux Using YAY

Now that our YAY is ready,
Let’s install the magical Burp Suite and start some packet-fu!

Run this command:

yay -S burpsuite

And that’s it! Grab a coffee, wait for a few minutes, and boom 💥
Burp Suite is installed in your Arch Linux.

Now just run burpsuite from terminal or use your app launcher.

🤓 Alternate Methods (But We’re Not Using These Today)

If you don’t like YAY, you can:

• Download the .jar file from PortSwigger
• Run it with java -jar burpsuite_community.jar

But hey, that’s a story for another day 🍵

📌 Recap Time

✅ Steps to Install Burp Suite in Arch Linux:

• Install YAY (the AUR helper tool)
• Use yay -S burpsuite
• Done! You’re now a baby hacker 🐣

Final Words from Aathil Ducky

This blog post is not for the Linux nerds who write scripts in their sleep.
It’s for people like us – final-year students, cyber security learners,
and Google searchers who are tired of StackOverflow drama 😂

and maybe follow me on my hacking journey.

Until next time,
Stay curious. Stay legal. Stay Ducky. 🦆
