emacs not installing [solved]

userbinry4n · 2018-03-23 20:50:05

For some strange reason I can not seem to be able to download emacs with pacman? I typed, like I always do

 sudo pacman -S emacs

I in return I get URL returned error: 404. I think this probably means that the site that I am trying to download the pakages from is down. Does anyone know how I could still install emacs in a simple way?

pacman -Syu emacs

Keep your systemd up-to-date.

sudo pacman -Syu emacs

(edit: too slow)

man pacman

You can easily find out yourself by reading either the wiki or the pacman documentation.

The Arch forums expect you to do as much research as possible yourself before posting (in this case trivial) questions.
