I put this directory under version control --- not necessary, but recommended. Then I copied the <a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/xetex/latex/arabxetex/fontmapping/" rel="nofollow">contents (the .tec files) of the fontmapping directory</a> to ~/texmf/fonts/misc/xetex/fontmapping/arabxetex/. Then I copied <a href="http://www.ctan.org/get/macros/xetex/latex/arabxetex/xelatex/arabxetex.sty" rel="nofollow">arabxetex.sty</a> to ~/texmf/tex/xelatex/arabxetex/arabxetex.sty. Then I issued the command "texhash ~/texmf" in a terminal. And that should do it. AFAIK, the "texhash" command should be issued whenever you add some package, but it's not necessary. You can also "install" the <a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/xetex/latex/arabxetex/doc/" rel="nofollow">documentation</a> and the <a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/xetex/latex/arabxetex/source/" rel="nofollow">source</a> to ~/texmf/doc/xelatex/arabxetex/ and ~/texmf/source/xelatex/arabxetex/ respectively. I don't recall if it's necessary, but I also installed the <a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/xetex/latex/bidi/" rel="nofollow">bidi package</a>.

You can also “install” the documentation and the source to ~/texmf/doc/xelatex/arabxetex/ and ~/texmf/source/xelatex/arabxetex/ respectively.

I don’t recall if it’s necessary, but I also installed the bidi package.
