Before we start with the installation process, make sure that you have the following:
The first step in installing any package is to ensure that your package repository is up-to-date. To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command will update the package repository and also update any packages that have newer versions available.
To install Notepad++, we will use the AUR (Arch User Repository) package. Use the following command to install the AUR package manager:
sudo pacman -S git base-devel
After the AUR package manager installation is complete, run the following command to clone the Notepad++ package to your computer:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/notepadplusplus.git
Next, navigate to the newly created directory using the following command:
cd notepadplusplus
Once you are in the directory, run the following command to install the package:
makepkg -sri
The -s flag will install any AUR package dependencies, and the -i flag will install the package. This process may take some time to complete based on the speed of your computer and internet connection.
After the installation is finished, you can launch Notepad++ by typing the following command in the terminal:
notepad-plus-plus
This will open the Notepad++ application. Alternatively, you can also search for Notepad++ in the applications menu or run the command from the terminal.
