Pacman - No 3D Printing Slicer software found

Hi all, I cannot seem to find any of the slicers I’d like to use (Chitu, Prusa, Bambu) on pacman. I’ve tried forcing the AUR repo, looking for the appropriate entry in Arch Repo and entered it here, nothing seems to be working. I’ve tried “prusaslicer”, “PrusaSlicer”, “chitubox”, “chitubox-free-bin”, and “bambustudio-bin”, nothing is found. How do I install any of these through the repos? Preferably Prusa or Chitu, but I’ll take any of them at this point.

Thanks in advance.

That one did it, I didn’t know about that command. Thanks very much! :slight_smile:

To add to this, will it be able to update normally if I use garuda-update or -Sy? I know that both update methods only pull from Chaotic-AUR and other repos, but the slicer I chose (lycheeslicer) was found on base AUR, which Garuda doesn’t natively pull from.

Thanks.
