:warning: I need to mention you SHOULD NOT install .deb packages as per this highly :heart: answer

  • look in the AUR first
  • If the Arch package isn’t there, try building from source.
    I have only used debtap once when I couldn’t build from source code for whatever reason and there was a deb release.

Use debtap only if there’s no other way!

  • Install debtap:

    yay -S debtap
sudo debtap -u

  • Convert .deb packages Into Arch Linux Packages using debtap:

    debtap packagename.deb

  • install the package in the system:

    sudo pacman -U package-name
