How to Install Damselfly on Manjaro

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Damselfly on a Manjaro Linux system.

Prerequisites

Before you start, ensure that your system has the following:

• A Manjaro Linux installation
• An internet connection

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first step is to install the dependencies required by Damselfly. Open a terminal and enter the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu git cmake gcc make pkg-config openssl zlib xcb-util xcb-util-image xcb-util-keysyms xcb-util-cursor

This command will download and install all of the dependencies required to compile and run Damselfly.

Step 2: Download the Damselfly Source Code

Next, you will need to download the source code for Damselfly from its website. Open a web browser and navigate to https://damselfly.info.

Click on the "Download" button to save the source code file to your system.

Step 3: Extract the Source Code

Once the source code file has finished downloading, open a terminal and navigate to the directory where the file was saved. Use the tar command to extract the source code:

tar -xvf damselfly-1.0.0.tar.gz

This will create a new directory called damselfly-1.0.0 containing the source code for Damselfly.

Step 4: Compile and Install Damselfly

Now that you have the source code, it's time to compile and install Damselfly on your system. Navigate to the damselfly-1.0.0 directory and enter the following commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

These commands will create a new directory for the build files, configure the build with cmake, compile the code with make, and install Damselfly on your system with make install.

Step 5: Launch Damselfly

Finally, it's time to launch Damselfly! Enter the following command to start the program:

damselfly

If everything was installed correctly, you should now see the Damselfly interface on your screen.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Damselfly on your Manjaro Linux system!
