I tried the solution but it created this issue

I have deleted the files mentioned in the existing path and the issue in the first screenshot has returned.
How can I install the app and is there a better one you can recommend?

It’s in the AUR - AUR (en) - argos-translate

Or do what the message tells you and use pipx to install it in a virtual environment.

I forgot to mention that I tried to install

sudo pacman -S python-xyz

but I ran into the same issue.

@dsl Please paste terminal output here using proper formatting, not screenshots of text.

So is argos-translate-gui that he’s trying to install. :wink:

@dsl See Arch User Repository - Manjaro for more info.

There is no try, only do.

So far, it seems you only want to copy and paste random commands you found somewhere without even understanding what they do.

We’re at an impasse here until you actually spend the time to follow instructions you’ve been given and learn about what you’re doing.

I don’t know and that has absolutely nothing to do with this topic.

Thanks for the clarification

What is a DVI file?

Pose the question to a search engine and you shall find many good explanations.

xdvi is a very old viewer program for such files - but of course it still does the job - it is part of the Xorg suite

ls -hl /usr/bin/xdvi
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3.0K Mar 13 15:11 /usr/bin/xdvi

no point in removing it - look at the massive size of it :grinning:

It will be back with the next update anyway.

re screenshots:
describe your issue - use words
