Linux newbie looking for a relatively easy to install telnet/bbs client for Manjaro.

I used to run Kubuntu but switched to Manjaro GNOME. Unfortunately my guide to compile SyncTerm from source isn’t reliable since it uses commands I don’t have in an arch environment like apt and make.

Is there an easier way to install syncterm or maybe a different telnet ansii compatible client I’m unaware of that’s easier to install?

Thank you!

If you’re compiling binaries, you’re going to want base-devel installed. It puts in things like gcc and other common toolchain packages like make.

If you’re not opposed to it, it’s in the AUR.

Edit: Sorry a more helpful answer is that you can likely find it in manjaro’s add/remove software application. Optionally, From the command line you would execute pamac search syncterm if it exists pamac install syncterm

Here’s the documentation for enabling AUR: docs.manjaro.org/activating-the-aur-and-building-…

I wouldn’t be opposed. How do I install something from the AUR on Manjaro?

Edit: A quick ddg search solved it for me THANK YOU for this. I had no idea about the AUR. linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-a-package-from-aur…

Manjaro has a guide. AUR support works fine 99% of the time, but sometimes it breaks, usually by blocking upgrades because dependency versions don’t match.

Do not file issues with the AUR/Arch forums for broken AUR packages on Manjaro. AUR packages can (will) be broken occasionally or throw update errors during times when Manjaro lags behind Arch (usually lasts up to two weeks or so). There is nothing the AUR people or the Arch people can do for you to fix these errors when you enable the AUR on Manjaro; the AUR is designed to work with Arch and Arch derived software, Manjaro’s “freeze for a couple of weeks to let software stabilise” release approach is not something the AUR takes into account or cares for.

I type this because a lot of people start support threads on Arch forums while running Manjaro, which is a waste of time for everyone on the Arch side who volunteers to help.

Alternatively, you could use something like this instead; all that needs is Docker and a web browser.
