Why can't pacman grab CBM

[NightOWl]

Trying to install CBM using Pacman, get an error telling me target not found.

Why can I install this using apt but pacman is completely unable to find anything

Hi @NightOWl, and welcome!

Firstly, although pacman works, it’s actually Arch Linux’ package management system, and not pamac, which is Manjaro’s.

Secondly, it doesn’t look as if CBM is in the repositories, only the AUR:

$ pamac search cbm

And pacman doesn’t search the AUR, only install from it, manually. Whereas pamac installs from the AUR.

So that’s probably what’s happening. So, to install CBM, run the following in a terminal:

pamac build cbm

Note pamac and not pacman.

That should work then.

The Manjaro team did create pamac, but pacman works just as well.

My bad. I thought I put this in there. I see now I didn’t.
