Hi.
I am fresh here.
Managed to install brave browser with yay .
Founded article with install brave on Manjaro .
Now searching how to uninstall with yay or revert instalation and dependencies which came together.
In short words :
How to install Brave Browser on Manjaro Linux using AUR
In terminal:
installing some essential packages from the “base-devel” group.
in terminal: sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel
Agree to install the provided 11 packages from the “base-devel” group: pressing Y[es]
Next thing did, cloned “yay” repository using the git command.
($ git clone yay.git)
Went into the “yay” folder and make it working directory:
$ cd yay
Used “makepkg” command. Also, add “-si” option to install the missing dependencies:
$ makepkg -si
There was request to download and install: Pressed Y
After setting the “yay” repository and installing essential packages, executed below-given “yay”
$ yay -S brave
Choose to install “brave-browser” not the “brave-browser-beta”
I chose 1 brave-browser
Now trying to understand how to uninstall with yay brave-browser
please do some reading on how Arch/Manjaro works and what the AUR is
You could have installed “yay” way easier … - through “pamac” - the Manjaro tool/frontend to manage Software which even has a GUI.
… and similar functionality as “yay” …
meaning:
you likely did not even need to install “yay” … to get the brave browser
As for how to uninstall:
use this very same thing as well
or use the “pacman” command line tool
(or “pamac” - also a command line tool)
nearly every (command line) program has got a manual page, accessible via man yay man pacman man $program_name
…
Thanks. I realy am afraid of reading somewhere else than in this forum.
Your advise is also giving me guidance how to read and where to read.
Thank you.
Hmm …
reading doesn’t hurt - but discerning between between proper and improper information can be a challenge to someone new to Linux in general
different distributions have different ways of doing the same thing
Manjaro is based upon Arch - so:
the Arch Wiki is almost always applicable and a very good source of information
it should be your first or second go to source for any question …
This is valued information how and where it comes.
You see i first day use Manjaro. I need to do a lot of thing. I went 20 years behind glass.
And I learned important thing and received advisible guidance.
Instal/ remove test and find manuals. This is enought for a while. Arch Wiki , man yay , man pacman , man $program_name
