Issues installing pamac

I tried following this guide to install pamac but after it was supposed to complete I couldn't find it. Then I watched this other video thinking that maybe I was following an outdated guide but it seems the same.

As far as u can tell yay was installed correctly without any issues and so was pamac.

Re: Issues installing pamac

I'd suggest to avoid follow videos, many times they aren't maintained and falling into obsolete status. Wiki is always the first to be consulted.
If you installed with pacman packaging the you will have the option to get the list of the files by

$ pacman -Ql pamac

Then you may find the executable located usually in /usr/bin.
Furthermore you may check the pacman.log to see what happened to your installation.

$ less /var/log/pacman.log

Press up or down to scroll the text and q to exit

Re: Issues installing pamac

Learn how to use the AUR properly before you start relying on AUR helpers.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … Repository
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg

If you still can't build and install AUR packages, then post the exact steps you ran, as well as the output.

Re: Issues installing pamac

Hi, Thanks for replying.

$ pacman -Ql pamac

When entering this I got:

error: package 'pamac' was not found

I did not find any executable here. I believe that it was not installed at all.

The exact steps I ran were:

pacman -S --needed base-devel git wget yajl

cd /tmp

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

cd yay

makepkg -si

yay -S pacman-aur

Re: Issues installing pamac

WTF?!  You are trying to install one AUR helper just so you can use it to install another AUR helper?  And in trying to install that other aur-helper you made up a name for it that doesn't exist: what is "pacman-aur"??

Again:

And when you use the AUR properly, if something goes wrong, post complete commands and output.

Re: Issues installing pamac

So this is the 4th time I read the wiki on Arch User Repository. As I am understanding, instead of what I did, I needed to clone the https://aur.archlinux.org/pamac-aur.git and then

makepkg

. was this correct?

Just run your build command (e.g. ninja) and Meson will regenerate as necessary.
If ninja fails, run "ninja reconfigure" or "meson --reconfigure"
to force Meson to regenerate.

If build failures persist, run "meson setup --wipe" to rebuild from scratch
using the same options as passed when configuring the build.
To change option values, run "meson configure" instead.
