ways to install packages / build / download packages on arch based linux
by andrewysk from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5EX02)
Hii, I am not 100% sure ways to install/ build download packages on arch based linux.
I know only these ways, i wonder if there are other.., want to make a complete list step by step on this topic for myself.
1. pamac-gui (helper)
2. pacman -S packagename
*the above 2 are standard way for arch, using this method, one can do uninstall easily.
3. git clone https://github.com/someProject/example.git
3a. **read up Build instruction manual from the git project, each programmer have different build instruction, some use make, some use cmake..etc
3b. make install or makepkg -si ??
4. download and run portable version straight away: *.appimage file
**** these method below are not a good way, but if really have to come to this extend, can use these method as well.**
5. download *.deb
5a. convert *.deb to arch package using "debtap"
6. *.RPM ??
7. download *.tar or *.tar.gz or *.tar.bz2 and then ??? build ?
8. *.sh file (shell script file) ?? how to ?
9. download using browser from https://aur.archlinux.org/example.git ??? how install / download using this method ? ?
10. I think there is still wget method. wget data from programmer official page ?? what file format available ? ??
I Just want to list out ALL possible different path / method / file extension of build/ install/ download to "install" package on arch based linux.
Thx.
