Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation process, you need to check if the following prerequisites are met:

• EndeavourOS Latest is installed and updated.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing Frab, we need to install some dependencies. We will use the pacman package manager to install the dependencies.

Open the terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+T and run the following command:
