These instructions assume
- access to 'root' account or user with admin permissions
- some basic Linux skills
- commands aren't copypasted blindly
- that the process is stopped in case of errors
Arch is a rolling release distribution and the vnStat package in the official Arch Community repository is usually updated within a week from a new vnStat release. As a result, compiling and installing vnStat from the source package isn't usually needed for getting the latest version.
Install without image output support
pacman -S vnstat
or with image output support
pacman -S vnstat vnstati
Enable and start the service
systemctl enable vnstat
systemctl start vnstat
Verify that daemon process got started
pgrep -c vnstatd
which should reply "1". A reply of "0" indicates that the process has failed to start.
