Glad that you sorted it out @cyberx

I had to change the DE from Cinnamon to plasma.
And now those commands those don’t work for me …
How to install the Pamac for Plasma Enviroment?

#7

Never used a Plasma environment, sorry can t help you much on that one @cyberx

#8

You did a reinstall or just changed DE?

#9

I reinstalled with Plasma.

#10

$pacman -S git base-devel

then do what you did before.

baph should be available (not 100% sure in plasma install). If it is, you could use baph to install directly.
