Thanks for this PKGBUILD, it worked well for me.

Just a small heads up that native Arch .pkg.tar.zst files are now also available from https://taproom.cider.sh/downloads if you've purchased Cider, and they work well.

For anyone having issues with this, the current best method is to download the Cider2 deb file, cider-linux-amd64.deb

Using yay, the command I used was: yay --editmenu -S cider2-bin

From there, I edited the pkgbuild:

# Download the DEB file (you can also provide a direct link)
source=("file:///home/rampantandroid/Downloads/cider-linux-amd64.deb")

From there, the install works fine.

The current pkgbuild just points to file://cider-linux-amd64/deb which is a path that will not exist. I suspect this is done to help drive people to pay for Cider2 or be forced to use Cider1 for free.

If you want to buy Cider2, it's available on Itch: https://cidercollective.itch.io/cider or via Discord and whatnot.

This didn't work for me. I installed the tarball provided in cider's taproom and it works perfectly

It looks like something broke.

If you want to create your own PKGBUILD, you can extract the 'cider-linux-amd64.deb' package, then extract the 'control.tar.zst' file from it to a file named 'control'. After that, transform the 'Depends', 'Recommends', and 'Suggests' sections into Arch package dependencies.

The current installation creates a link

/usr/bin/cider -> /opt/Cider/cider

but /opt/Cider/cider does not exist. Instead, there is a binary at /usr/lib/cider/Cider. The client does not show up in the software lists, the command line cider leads to a "command not found" error. Looks a little like a bug in the package.

Refers to cider2-bin 2.6.0-2 on Manjaro Linux (6.12-2).

Hey, may you update the PKGBUILD to newer version?

If anyone has trouble with this, you can alternatively download the .pacman version on itch.io and run sudo pacman -U ./Cider-git-arch-x64.pacman

gsh commented on 2024-07-03 08:35 (UTC)

If you have bought cider2, you need to put the deb package and the PKGBUILD file into the same directory and run makepkg.
