# I manually installed the non-gui dependencies, sg like:
sudo pacman -S namcap fakeroot ruby rpm-tools cpio

git clone https://github.com/biglinux/rpmtoarch.git
cd rpmtoarch

# But it does not build. Unfortunately the README.md does not tell how to build and use this.

Please provide clear instructions for build and especially for the command line usage (without any KDE dependencies and also pamac is a Manjaro thing, not suitable for Arch users).

The package is meant to be used with Manjaro and KDE or BigLinux.

A clean script to use with minimal dependencies is here: https://gist.github.com/zinovyev/0ad6bd54ac5a9f7b709607a8151a0334

This was made for users who don't know how to use the terminal, so the use is basically to double-click the .rpm file in the graphical interface.
