Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to install the required packages for Coral. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git python3 python-pip

After installing the required packages, the next step is to clone the Coral repository from GitHub. Run the following command in the terminal to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/coralproject/talk.git
