Installing a third-party software in Manjaro

Under Manjaro, Pamac (package manager) may not provide that specific application you need, even under the command line.

You could find a .deb package on the editor’s website but it won’t help either as it is not ok on Arch-based systems.

Arch User Repository

Head to the the AUR website in the packages section

  • in the search bar, enter the desired software, hit enter
  • click on the wanted package
  • a new page will open. In the right top area, under “package actions”
  • click on “Download snapshot” in the right area of the page names Packages Actions area
  • extract the snapshot (double click on it and select the destination folder for extraction)
  • open a terminal and cd into the extracted folder :
  • enter ” makepkg -sci “. That should to the trick and install the app.

Once installed, the package manager will be able to remove it though.
