[SOLVED] How do I install etcher/packages with a git clone URL?

Hello all,

I was trying to install

etcher

, however it has a git clone URL so I can't simply use

sudo pacman -S etcher

. Don't know and have any experience using

git clone

, so I don't know what I am supposed to do.

I have tried installing git and using

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/etcher.git

then going to a terminal at the etcher location at /home it created, then running makepkg, installed the dependencies it needed, ran makepkg again and an error came out:

/home/arch/etcher/PKGBUILD: line 44: make: command not found
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

So I probably did it wrong there, can someone tell me how I install etcher?

Did you install base-devel first?

No, but I will install it and try the method I used before again. I'll post an update once I'm done.

Okay, it's finished, there were no errors when it was finished, don't know what to do after this though, what should I do after this? What should I do to get etcher installed now?

That part is explained two headers down in the same article, see Build and install the package.

Oh, sorry. I found out here that I just needed to run

sudo pacman -U /home/arch/etcher/etcher-1.4.9-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Etcher is now installed, now I know how to install these packages. Thanks
