I suggest you write a PGKBUILD for the program so that the package manager can track its files. You should first check if it’s available in the AUR, and only then resort to writing a PKGBUILD yourself or manual installation.
It’s available in the AUR but I was just curious about how I should proceed if something like that happens. Thanks!
Well, executable files usually go to /usr/bin/
, but there are, of course, exceptions: Discord is in /opt/discord/
, etc. I think the best place to find this information is in the PKGBUILD files. If you read a couple, you’ll see which files are place where on Arch-based systems.
