VLC is a free and open-source media player that can play a variety of media formats, including video and audio files, CDs, DVDs, and streaming protocols. In this tutorial, I will show you how to install VLC on Manjaro, a Linux distribution that is based on Arch Linux.
Before installing any new software, it's always a good idea to update your system to make sure that you have the latest packages and security patches. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This will update all of the packages on your system to their latest versions.
To install VLC on Manjaro, simply run the following command in a terminal window:
sudo pacman -S vlc
This will download and install VLC and all of its dependencies.
Once VLC is installed, you can launch it from the command line by running the following command:
vlc
Alternatively, you can search for VLC in your system's application menu and launch it from there.
That's it! You now have VLC installed on your Manjaro system. With VLC, you can play a wide range of media files, including videos, music, and streaming content. If you have any issues with the installation process or encounter any errors while using VLC, check the official documentation or reach out to the VLC community for assistance.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
