How to install pamac?
#1
I'm trying to install a package that requires the pamac command. At this time, I'm only interested in pamac. I have some familiarity with the existing "pacman" command.

I have tried several tutorials online to install pamac with no success. I can clone the git repository just fine, but get an error after the makepkg command.

Installed git:
sudo pacman -Syyu base-devel git

Created the directory:
mkdir pamac-aur

Listed the directories to confirm:
ls
(All of my directories appeared including the newly created pamac-aur directory)

Changed the directory:
cd pamac-aur

Listed the contents inside "pamac-aur"
ls
(pamac-aur is listed)

Changed into this directory:
cd pamac-aur

Listed the contents of this directory:
ls
(pamac.install and PKGBUILD are listed)

At the command prompt inside this directory, I typed "makepkg" and the process began. It listed some missing dependencies and the process ended with an error.

==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.

Did I miss something? Can I complete this process with the dependencies acquired automatically? Please correct or add to what I should do to complete the process. Thanks for the help.

I was able to move the process along a little more. I typed in:

makepkg --syncdeps

at the end of this process:

"looking for conflicting packages..."
:: gtk3 and gtk3-mobile are in conflict (gtk3-print-backends). Remove gtk3-mobile? [y/N]

At this point I decided I had better wait for help. I did a "control c" to abort.

Thanks for any help with this.
