You should install yaourt (or packer). Then, you would simply have to type (for instance):
yaourt --noconfirm ros-groovy-turtlesim
Not all the packages are available in AUR (this is a lengthy process and there are few maintainers), but the most important ones are. You can see the list of available Groovy packages here.
As @Ruslan pointed out, all the instructions are available here. By using AUR packages, you will be sure that no conflict happens when installing packages, and dependencies will be automatically checked/installed. This is not necessarily the case if you are installing from source on your own. Also, when installing from source, you will probably end up with Python2/Python3 conflicts that are automatically fixed in AUR packages.
If you encounter a problem with one of the packages, leave a message on the adequate AUR package page and/or contact the maintainer.
You should build all necessary packages from source. In the case of turtle sim first download it to ./src folder of your workspace i.e. ~/ros_ws/ then build it. To summarise the procedure
cd ./src
git clone <a href="https://github.com/ros-gbp/ros_tutorials-release.git">https://github.com/ros-gbp/ros_tutorials-release.git</a>
cd ..
catkin_make
or
catkin_make_isolated --install --install-space /opt/ros/groovy
the last line will install packages to the folder where the rest of the packages are installed.
After this http://wiki.ros.org/groovy/Installation/Arch instruction I have not catkin_make. How to install catkin_make? Inconvenient system!
