Hi,
I’m new to Manjaro and Arch. I used .DEB and .RPM distros before.
Been struggling to install resilio sync till I managed to make it appear in Pamac.
Trying to install, I only have “Apply”" button that shows after clicking a new window saying “failed to prepare transaction”
Manjaro seems very good for me, BUT the issue of installing software is serious.
How can I install software?
Thank you.
Welcome to the forum! 
Resilio Sync is available in the AUR (Arch User Repository) as rslsync.
To find out why so we can help, post the output of the following command between three backticks like this:
```
terminal output
```
pamac build rslsync
Thanks for your help. Here is the output:
pamac build rslsync

* Running rslsync system instance (using dedicated rslsync:rslsync account)
System instance of rslsync is preconfigured (configuration file located
at /etc/rslsync.conf) and can be used directly after installation.
Execute:
to reload system systemd modules: systemctl daemon-reload
to start rslsync manually: systemctl start rslsync
to autostart rslsync on system start: systemctl enable rslsync
* Running rslsync user instance (using current user account)
User instance MUST be configured before use. To perform configuration,
install rslsync-autoconfig package or follow manual configuration steps:
1. Copy /etc/rslsync/rslsync.conf to ~/.config/rslsync/rslsync.conf for
the user you wish to configure rslsync:
mkdir -p ~/.config/rslsync
cp /etc/rslsync.conf ~/.config/rslsync/rslsync.conf
2. Replace user-specific references with the appropriate information,
including the following settings:
- storage_path
- pid_file
- webui.listen
- webui.login
- webui.password
3. Make sure folder you specified as storage_path and folder where pid_file will
be located both exist in the filesystem, since rslsync will not create it for you.
Execute:
to reload user systemd modules: systemctl --user daemon-reload
to start rslsync manually: systemctl --user start rslsync
to autostart rslsync on user login: systemctl --user enable rslsync

That looks like it worked just fine…
Wow!
That’s wonderful. Even much better than other distros wher I had to do some commands to install the service.
But in Manjaro going to
http://localhost:8888
worked strait away.
I’m glad I;m here and I’m on Manjaro.
So, to install any app that does not have “install” button, the command is:
pamac build [packagename]
As I found in some sites I did the pacman -Syu.
pacman -Syu rslsync

Any comments/readings for installing software or
pamac build [package name]
is just enough?
Edit: I installed Zim Wiki easily, there was an “install” button! I wonder why resilio didn’t have install button!
…will have a Build button after enabling AUR support if you haven’t already under Preferences > Third Party.
Repo packages have an Install button, AUR packages have a Build button.
For terminal usage, see:
man pamac
or
pamac --help
There’s also separate help info for each command, i.e.,
pamac install --help
I really highly appreciate your help. 
I’m sure I will enjoy being here on this forum and on this great great Manjaro.
