[RESOLVED] Xampp starkit package not found during prepare()

I was trying to install xampp using yay aur helper but it showed me this error

application-specific initialization failed: 
  /usr/bin/tclkit has no VFS data to start up
can't find package starkit
    while executing
"package require starkit"
    (file "/usr/bin/sdx.kit" line 4)
    invoked from within
"source /usr/bin/sdx.kit"
    (file "/home/akkhil/.cache/yay/xampp/src/bitrock-unpacker.tcl" line 9)
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: xampp-exit status 4

Re: [RESOLVED] Xampp starkit package not found during prepare()

for install Xampp go to https://www.apachefriends.org and in Download section find linux installer.
Run installer file as sudo .
Install from there and then go to the following path to run xampp :

cd /opt/lampp/
sudo ./manager-linux-x64.run

I don't know why the package in AUR has these problems, but the installer in main site of xampp does not have these problems

Re: [RESOLVED] Xampp starkit package not found during prepare()

I think its a problem with tclkit when i run

<code>tclkit</code>
it shows me this error

```
application-specific initialization failed: 
  /usr/bin/tclkit has no VFS data to start up

```

The installer has success fully installed xampp tho but still what is going on

We can use paru which help create the necessary permissions
