Ah that makes sense
I didn't know you could get that from a couch?
And his couch.
Yay doesn't replace normal packages with AUR packages. Btw It's not just an AUR helper, it's a wrapper for Pacman with AUR support built-in. Check out paru btw, it's a more modern version of yay that basically works the same way: https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru
Does anyone else feel like setting up a scam site that claims to sell upvotes, and donates all the profit to the Harris/Walz campaign?
It's impressive how many things can be achieved with nothing more than the power of open source software
It's pretty easy. You either get it from Cargo (the Rust package manager) or add a custom repo to apt.
Cargo is the easier and safer option: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh && cargo install eza
Custom apt repo:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y gpg
sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eza-community/eza/main/deb.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg] http://deb.gierens.de stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gierens.list
sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gierens.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y eza
In my opinion though, you should also try lsd. It's even better than eza. You can also get it from Cargo, just a simple cargo install lsd.
On Arch I don't need any, I just run
paruwithout any options, which by default invokes a full Pacman update, as well as updating all AUR packages. But I have a system maintenance script, that, besides doing some other stuff that's specific to my system, runsparu -Sc --noconfirmto clean the Pacman package cache, and delete unneeded cloned AUR Git repos and build artifacts.
