You will need to do both.

the problem is that im trying to install it by executing using terminal and it installs but then when im trying to start it up the program its just loading and then quitting without even trying to open, when i tried to install through using terminal the terminal output is [quote=“Yaroslav, post:1, topic:45974”]
“WARNING: Failed to install the built packages.”
[/quote]

It would be great if you could let us know how you fixed the issue, so that other users with the same or a similar problem might find a solution here. Thanks.

Sure, so the issue was that after makepkg -si to build program by using console it will start to install program and at this point you may face issue like There are usually two conflicting files (it will be specified which ones) * and that the installation is suspended in this case, copy those conflicting files and delete them using the command (rm rf) and then run the * makepkg -si* and it will automaticly go to installing and it will be fixed then you can run the program by just finding it in system

As much as it worked, I am pretty sure there is a right way to do this.

Read this

Package installation says FILENAME exists in filesystem; “Failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)”

I can’t install or update a package because I get (something like) this: error: could not prepare transaction error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) libname: /insert/file/name/here exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. Why is this happening? The package manager, pacman , has detected an unexpected file already exists on disk. By design it will not overwrite files that already exist. This is a design feature, not a flaw - package managers are desi…

Might not be your case but going for (rm -rf) works but might not be the right way. Read that as a sample

For anyone coming to read this later, Just use this for Resolve:

GitHub - zelikos/davincibox: Container for DaVinci Resolve installation and...

if not every time dependencies change you will have some issues.

This is awesome, I’m planning to grab Resolve Studio at some point in the near future and was resigned to figuring out how to make that pkgbuild in the AUR work, definitely trying this first.

You can also use distrobox if you want some more control just use the box for the OS they make it for “Rocky” or the fedora one might work but yeah I haven’t tried in a long time. Note if you don’t have the paid version, kdenlive might be better for you since it supports more codecs.

if you do it with the aur pkg the best way is to do it at the start of the month an then never let it update tell it breaks
