Anchr is a command-line tool that allows you to easily manage and switch between different versions of your favorite applications. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the installation process of Anchr on Manjaro.
Before installing any application, it's always a good idea to update your system to make sure that you have the latest packages and dependencies. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Enter your password when prompted and wait for the system to update.
Anchr depends on certain packages that may not be installed on your system by default. To install these packages, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git go make
Now that we have all the necessary dependencies installed, we can proceed to install Anchr. Run the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/athul/anchr.git
cd anchr
make install
This will clone the Anchr repository, navigate to the newly created folder, and run the installation script.
To verify that Anchr has been installed correctly, run the following command:
anchr --version
This should display the version number of Anchr that you just installed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Anchr on your Manjaro system. You can now use Anchr to easily manage different versions of your favorite applications.
