The simple process is now just
1) Add the following (gnome-unstable) to /etc/pacman.conf
[gnome-unstable] Server = http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch/
2) Install it!
sudo pacman -Sy gnome-shell clutter
3) Run it!
sudo gnome-shell --replace
Simples!
It’s not as up to date as the method outlined in my original post, but if you’re looking for an easy setup, and not the ultimate up to the moment version, then this is for you. If you do want the bleeding edge check out :
