I cannot launch Aur program installed with pamac

Hi, I am new here, and just began with Manjaro, I’m happy with it.
Everything is OK, I’ve just a problem with an aur package
I authorized pamac with aur, I found my package (Audirvana-studio) and I installed it. But now, I saw it is in /opt/ and I can’t launch the execution, nothing happened? I tried with another one (xnviewmp) and it works (it’s in the same directory : /opt/ )
Thank you if you can help.

Hi and welcome,

How/what do you try to launch?

In general it can be a good idea to review the AUR page itself.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/audirvana-studio

I assume you’re using KDE DE.
Click Application Launcher from your desktop, type Audirvana, and you should be able to see the app appears in the application list.
You can either press Enter from your keyboard, or click the icon with your mouse, to launch the app.

I just built audirvana-studio using pamac and, although the package installed, there were some important messages, along with a few errors:

==> Leaving fakeroot environment.
==> Finished making: audirvana-studio 2.9.5-1 (Thu 19 Dec 2024 10:03:22)
==> Cleaning up...

If the configuration directory is missing:
mkdir -p ~/.config/audirvana
echo EulaAccepted = 1 > ~/.config/audirvana/audirvana-studio.ini

avahi should be enabled first with: sudo systemctl enable --now avahi-daemon

To start it: systemctl --user start audirvanaStudio
To enable it at boot: systemctl --user enable audirvanaStudio
}

post_upgrade() {
echo 
/tmp/alpm_n17P87/.INSTALL: line 15: If: command not found
/tmp/alpm_n17P87/.INSTALL: line 19: avahi: command not found
/tmp/alpm_n17P87/.INSTALL: line 21: To: command not found
/tmp/alpm_n17P87/.INSTALL: line 22: To: command not found
Error: audirvana-studio: command failed to execute correctly

So, it looks like it runs as a systemd service. I recommend that you read through the comments on the audirvana-studio page, as was suggested earlier by @cscs

This pinned comment seems most relevant:

If the configuration directory is missing:

mkdir -p ~/.config/audirvana

echo “EulaAccepted = 1” > ~/.config/audirvana/audirvana-studio.ini

Enable avahi: sudo systemctl enable --now avahi-daemon

To start it: systemctl --user start audirvanaStudio

To enable it at boot: systemctl --user enable audirvanaStudio

However there are other comments that may also be relevant to getting it running properly and signing in.

Hi and thank you.

How/what do you try to launch? : How - from the menu but it doesn’t appear and What - Audirvana program.
I went to the link you proposed but I"m not sure with the “~” on this command : mkdir -p ~/.config/audirvana
I mean do I to replace the ~ with the program directory ? (sorry but, yes, I’m a beginner with Linux)

Welcome. :slight_smile:

I know nothing about this software, just skimmed this thread and the comments on the AUR page.

Configure it, sign into the account from a browser, and start the service:

# open a terminal
# then run these two commands
# to create the configuration
mkdir -p ~/.config/aurdirvana 
echo “EulaAccepted = 1” > ~/.config/audirvana/audirvana-studio.ini

# sign into your account from a browser

# run this to start it
systemctl --user start audirvanaStudio

The configuration only needs to be done once.

~ is shorthand for the user’s home directory. No need to replace it.
