install quicktest archlinux from pc
I’ll give step-by-step instructions to install QuickTest on Arch Linux. I’m assuming:
- You have an up-to-date Arch Linux system with root or sudo access.
- “QuickTest” refers to the package named quicktest (if you meant a different project, tell me the repo or URL).
If that assumption is wrong, tell me the exact project link or name.
1) Update system
Run:
sudo pacman -Syu
2) Search official repos and AUR
Check if quicktest exists in pacman repos:
pacman -Ss quicktest
If not found, check AUR (example with an AUR helper or manual):
- With an AUR helper (yay):
yay -Ss quicktest - Without helper, search https://aur.archlinux.org/ for “quicktest”.
3) Install from official repos (if available)
If pacman finds a package named quicktest, install:
sudo pacman -S quicktest
4) Install from AUR (if only in AUR)
Option A — using an AUR helper (recommended):
yay -S quicktest
Or with paru:
paru -S quicktest
Option B — manual build from AUR:
mkdir -p ~/builds && cd ~/builds
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/quicktest.git
cd quicktest
makepkg -si
Notes:
- makepkg requires base-devel group: if not installed, run:
sudo pacman -S –needed base-devel git - Review PKGBUILD before building to ensure safety.
5) Install from upstream source (if no Arch package)
If there’s a GitHub repository or tarball:
Example generic steps
sudo pacman -S –needed git base-devel
git clone https://github.com/OWNER/quicktest.git
cd quicktest
follow project-specific build/install instructions, commonly:
./configure
make
sudo make install
Or for Python projects:
python -m pip install –user quicktest
Or for Node projects:
npm install -g quicktest
Check the README in the project for exact build steps.
6) Post-install checks
- Verify command is available:
which quicktest
quicktest –help - If systemd service or config required, follow project docs.
7) Troubleshooting tips
- Dependency errors while building: install missing packages via pacman.
- GPG signature errors when cloning AUR: ensure correct remote URL and network.
- If you need an AUR helper: install yay manually:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si
If you want, tell me:
- The exact QuickTest project URL or GitHub repo, or
- The output of
pacman -Ss quicktestandyay -Ss quicktest(if you have an AUR helper),
and I’ll give precise commands tailored to that package.
