How to install Chawan on Artix
2025-06-15
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+

The package chawan-git in the AUR doesn't compile as the
included NIM version is too old

Here's how I installed it in Artix Linux:

Install the NIM compiler from
https://nim-lang.org/install.html

The default dependancies were already installed on my 
hard disk: (OpenSSL, libssh2, brotli)

cd ~/src
git clone https://git.sr.ht/~bptato/chawan && cd chawan
make
sudo make install
cha -V

And it's done. 

I use use chawan as an excellent gopher client and newsboat browser
