I’m trying to install Davinci Resolve on my machine, but for some reson it failed the PKGBUILD. My specs are:
CPU: Intel(R) Core
i7-8550U (8) @ 4.00 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon R5 M445 Series [Discrete]
GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620 @ 1.15 GHz [Integrated]
I’ve installed the proprietary drivers for my AMD GPU, but I still cannot get Davinci Resolve to work. What should I do?
hi,
which error you get in the Terminal? Did you have missing packages? Please Post your garuda -inxi here too.

To build this package you will need to manually download the file from Support Center | Blackmagic Design and place it in the same directory with the PKGBUILD.
Done?
Do I use the terminal or do I use Dolphin?
As you prefer. A copy is a copy.
what’s the command for moving the davinci appimage to the pkg?
Sorry these are really the Linux basics: cp to copy mv to move. You should read some Linux tutorials, but we are really going too far from the forum scope (Garuda).
The main point might be to understand in which directory to copy the downloaded file but, if I remember correctly, there was a hint on the AUR page to check that.
Probably /tmp/paru/clone/davinci-resolve but i’m not on my machine.
you can execute the appimage directly no install or move for installing IIRC 
you need a zip file for it .
you have to fill out a form then you can download it .
scroll down to find it
move the downloaded zip file to the folder where you downloaded with git then makepkg again
ps installed it and worked with the zip file
Download the zip file and copy or move it with any file manager either to ~/.cache/paru/clone/davinci-resolve/ if you are using paru, or to ~/.cache/yay/davinci-resolve/ if you are using yay. Then try to build the package again.
