# Ubuntu 18.04
sudo apt install llvm-7 llvm-7-* liblld-7*
```
* **Arch Linux** As its package manager doesn't have lld7, it's easier to download all binaries
manually.
* **Arch Linux** The binary version of LLVM can currently only be installed using an AUR helper, such as `yay`:
```bash
# Download binaries for Ubuntu 14.04 (works across distros)
wget https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmorg-7.1.0/clang+llvm-7.1.0-x86_64-linux-gnu-ubuntu-14.04.tar.xz
# Unpack to /usr/ directory
tar -xf clang+llvm-7.1.0-x86_64-linux-gnu-ubuntu-14.04.tar.xz -C /usr/
yay -Syu lld7-headers lld7-libs-static
```
It is also possible to perform a manual package installation as follows:
```bash
# NOTE: this installs all of the lld7 packages
cd /tmp
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/lld7.git
cd lld7
makepkg -si
```
When running `llvm-config`, an error can occur signalling that `/usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5` is
missing. If a newer version is present, create a symlink; e.g. `ln -s /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.6
