Hello, i wanted to download a thing i found for my laptop.
here is the link : AUR (en) - razer-laptop-control-dkms-git

but i dont know how to install it and how. because it gives these errors. these are the solutions i found on the internet. and the only i could find, the others where basically the same

[sudo] password for casper:

And Pacman is your package manager, not Apt.

Start all over. Use the Assistants. Sort & select mirrors and refresh.

Please never post pictures of terminal outputs. I am currently on my cell and can not read your pic. Post text as text.

Read the Garuda Wiki section on "Reporting bugs ".

Same goes for any other software you want - look here (pacmac) First!

You could also use the setup assistant

Try

sudo pacman -Sy

Yes, refresh mirrors - either by CLI, as @RUanauR tells you, or -

No if there is no apps shown you refresh the database not the mirrors.
