Re: [SOLVED] swww installation

Those look like man pages. How, exactly, did you 'install' swww?

The correct way, on Arch Linux, would be to install it from the AUR:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/swww

Mod note: moving to AUR Issues.

Re: [SOLVED] swww installation

You should still create and install a package with makepkg / pacman.  But the AUR package was updated 2 days ago ... so I'd expected it to be pretty close to the current git code (it also looks like the update was in response to these comments: the current PKGBUILD in the aur uses the updated url).

Thank you for the information. My problem is solved
