KDE Discover Error, Unable to Install Apps

When I Open Discover and Try to Install an App it Shows an Error that Says "Discover cannot currently be used to install any apps because none of it's app backends are available. Please report this error to your distrobution."
How can i fix this?

Re: KDE Discover Error, Unable to Install Apps

Read pacman's output when installing packages to get notified of optional dependencies. If you want to find out after the fact, look at the optional dependencies in

pacman -Qi discover

Re: KDE Discover Error, Unable to Install Apps

... did you install the optional dependencies? That said, the Arch integration for packagekit and thus discover is very rudimentary, you shouldn't rely on it and instead learn how to use pacman properly.
