waybar - git - Blackarch install

[mairm1340]

Hi All I use Hyprland as my main window manager. I was trying blackarch on a VM and I now feel i should run this on my main system.

so I did install sudo pacman -S blackarch

~ ❯ sudo pacman -S blackarch :: There are 2893 members in group blackarch: :: Repository blackarch 1) 0d1n 2) 0trace 3) 3proxy 4) 3proxy-win32 5) 42zip 6) a2sv 7) abcd 8) abuse-ssl-bypass-waf 9) acccheck 10) ace 11) aclpwn

I did run pactree command to see who is using the above

~ ❯ pactree -r spdlog spdlog-git provides spdlog └─waybar-git

~ ❯ pactree -r yay yay-git provides yay

~ ❯ pactree -r waybar-git waybar-git

Since I run hyprland and I need waybar how can I get blackarch on my system.

Appreciate your assistance on this.

If I keep spdlog-git even then i cannot proceed....

Don’t do pacman-Syu! You are trying to install nearly 3k packages. Ofcourse there will be issues. Install the packages you want. Java uninstall jdk and sdk, reinstall the jdk and you’re good to go. Netcat you have to uninstall one and install the other, not sure which one. If you use AUR packages, or non blackarch repo packages you are on your own. We don’t maintain any *-git packages as far as I know.

I am able to install one package at a time... is there a way to install the commonly used one at one go ?

[ikstream]

Download this file and cat it into pacman. This will install the slim tools in one go

i fail to see the attachment... :(

[mairm1340]

I took this file Hope this is the one you are referring to https://github.com/BlackArch/blackarch-iso/blob/master/slim-iso/packages.x86_64

[mairm1340]

i did download the package file then I did use the below script

#!/bin/bash

#  Read each package name from the package list file and install it
while IFS= read -r package; do
    echo "Installing $package..."
    sudo pacman -S --noconfirm "$package"
    echo "Done installing $package."
done < package_list.txt

echo "All packages have been installed."

obviously we need to make it executable and run !

I don’t know why the link did not work, but it is the file I was talking about. That’s a quite complex way to do it, but if it works for you.
