Install from the AUR
We also have an unofficial package available on the Arch User Repository for users who can utilize it. Bear in mind that this distribution method is unofficial and so may not always be up-to-date.
You're welcome to flag it as out of date so that the maintainer can update it.
It's only available on the community stream of packages under the name
skpr, and does not include -bin or -git varieties as there's only one
source for the binaries.
pacman -Sy skpr
Native AMD64 binaries
If none of the other option are available, you may be able to download and use our binaries precompiled for AMD64 architectures.

sudo tar -zxf skpr_linux_amd64.tgz -C /usr/local/bin/

you're after. For example: 0.12.1.
