Installing a deb file on Manjaro. 😐

Tried Docker...over complicated
Tried dpkg... dependencies nonexistent in manjaro.

Snap packages?
Appimages?

    @AleCx04 I wanted to install gb-studio 1.2 alpha build (new features and fixes) . It's available in aur but it's version 1.1

    You could ether build alien to convert the package or write an Pkgbuild to extracts the data.

    Build from source?

    a deb is just a zip file so you could unzip it in your root directory. Probably a bad idea.

    You may want to try the program "alien", otherwise a proper compiled busybox has a minimalistic dpkg.
    Or just extract the deb manually.

    I'm pretty sure there is an install guide on how to do that in the arch wiki... Or maybe the manjaro one. I'll come back with a link later when I get a minute.

    Modify the PKGBUILD or Extract it somewhere not much crowded (.local)
    or use gnu stow...

    This post got strangely popular. I did figure out a way. I downloaded from source and actually followed the damn instructions. I should have installed from a pkgbuild but I've never done that before. For now I can run the program with "npm start". If I run into a problem I'm going have to learn how to do a pkgbuild.

    If anyone else needs it this guide runs through a few ways to install debs in an arch based system.

    Since Manjaro is Arch and it's on AUR, why not just get it from AUR?
