Fix arch installation instructions #1018
Comments
Done.
See #786. |
Thanks for the quick response. Consider adding a short note on why the aur package is preferred. To me it looked like the readme was simply outdated and I installed the official package, which I wouldn't have done if I knew. |
I added a note that the community package is to be avoided and linked to #786 where some of its past issues are documented. |
Using
pacman -Sy
(whichyay -Sy
will do internally) can break the user's system and should never be mentioned in instructions unless doing something very specific that requires it. See here.It should be changed either to
yay -S
will simply install the packageyay -Syu
will perform a full upgrade, then install. In my opinion, we shouldn't decide to upgrade on behalf of the user, but at least it's safe.Also, note that there is an official package that theoretically follows the stable releases, though it seems to have currently fallen behind. Maybe it should be mentioned or even be the recommended installation method.
