1. Login into you Zoiper account https://www.zoiper.com/en/login
2. Download the Linux tgz and place it into Downloads (the folder is important). Do not rename the file
3. Start installing the package, edit build files, edit PKGBUILD
4. Change the version to the version you just downloaded (e.g. 5.5.3)
5. md5sum Zoiper*.tgz
6. sha256sum Zoiper.tgz
7. Now replace the FIRST entry in the build-file md5 with the md5sum above
8. Do the same for sha256
9. Install

You can do this with any newer version over and over again (also to update your zoiper if this package is outdated. which it will be :) )

And without shamanism and kamlania, is there an installation option?

As I mentioned in a previous comment, you can actually download the package directly just, you only have to set the PHPSESSID cookie, like this:

wget 'https://www.zoiper.com/en/voip-softphone/download/zoiper5/for/linux' --header 'Cookie: PHPSESSID=' --content-disposition

This way you could also get rid of readme.sh and zoipdl.sh and clean up the PKGBUILD

Well 5.4.12 is out.

To finally get that installed I edit PKGBUILD:

1. pkgver='5.4.10' changes to pkgver='5.4.12'
2. Delete sha256sums=(...) lines completely and
3. md5sums=('5a492ecd10812e936701a11b45dc16cd' changes to md5sums=('96a5880c7898c1a9dcbfa7c1dbd16273'

I got that value via:

$ md5sum ~/Downloads/zoiper5_5.4.12_x86_64.tar.xz

96a5880c7898c1a9dcbfa7c1dbd16273

Also pay attention to the spelling it happend to me that the downloadname was

Zoiper5_5.4... and not

zoiper5_5.4... the one makepkg was looking for.

I would be happy to know how to skip/disable all these md5 hassle.

md5sums=('SKIP') doesn't work

And didn't found a way to squeeze in that '--skipchecksums' option in the makepkg that yaourt (or paman) does.

If some knows please write in here.

Starting with 5.4.10 just downloading the tar variant from the zoiper website to ~/Downloads is enough to get it al running.

1. Download the release from zoiper to ~/Downloads
2. pamac update zoiper

Thats about it

I'm not sure why this is happening.

makepkg -i
==> Making package: zoiper 5.4.8-1 (Mon 02 Nov 2020 10:27:14 AM CST)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> Retrieving sources...
==> ERROR: The download program readme.sh is not installed.
    Aborting...

A workaround is to copy the "readme.sh" file from the archive to the ~/Downloads folder.

5.4.9 is out.

The download is expected to be in ~/Downloads/ by this recipe

• download the tgz format from the Zoiper account ( to ~/Downloads )

pamac install zoiper

• edit the build file
• change the package version to 5.4.9
• change the sha256sum to b8c40698d0c1b9a34b71ae449a9fdf883646be732a0ed667d98b5bd30774839d

apply and install.

Actually you can download directly the tar.xz file just by setting PHPSESSID, ie: curl 'https://www.zoiper.com/en/voip-softphone/download/zoiper5/for/linux' -H 'Cookie: PHPSESSID=' --output zoiper5_5.4.6_x86_64.tar.xz By the way, v5.4.8 is out ;)

First of all thanks for maintaining this packages. Just one little "problem". I use rua to manage my AUR packages. This package does not work with rua. The downloaded tar.xz file is not found (or at least could not be copied).

I don't see where pigz is used.
