Just did a fresh install of Arch Linux for the first time. So you can say I'm fairly new to arch.
I am trying to set st, the suckless terminal emulator as my default but whenever I run
pacman -S st
or basically anyother suckless like program like tabbed. I get "error: target not found: st"
Other programs I've tried to install have been a success. I don't know if I am doing something wrong.
Here's my /etc/pacman.conf:
[testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[community-testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the multilib repositories as required here.
#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
#[multilib]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
After I had uncommented those lines on my etc/pacman.conf, I have also run
pacman -Syu
.

That's because st isn't in the repos, it's in the AUR....

For a first time Arch user, are you really sure you want to enable the [testing] repos?

So that means I've to git clone and make build? Right?

Yes. I'm not new to Linux. Also, have used Manjaro in the past.
