🛠️ Installation

Live Test 🎯

You can run or use Carch directly without installing it on your system.

NOTE

⚡ Make sure to have thefiglet, and fzf packages already installed.

Arch

sudo pacman -S --noconfirm figlet fzf

Fedora

sudo dnf install figlet fzf -y

Simply execute the following command:

bash <(curl -L https://chalisehari.com.np/live)

💡 TIP

This will automatically fetch Carch from the latest release, download it to a temporary file, and remove it from your system once you exit.

✅ This makes it easier to try out Carch without installing it permanently! 🎯

⚙️ Automated Installation Script

CAUTION

⚠️ If Carch fails on Arch-based or Fedora-based distros, please open an issue.
It shouldn't fail, but just in case, let us know!

To install Carch, execute the following command in your terminal:

Arch

bash <(curl -L https://chalisehari.com.np/arch)

Fedora

bash <(curl -L https://chalisehari.com.np/fedora)

INFO

📢 Make sure to install curl before running this command:

Arch

sudo pacman -S curl

Fedora

sudo dnf install curl -y

Also, check the make and less packages (for Arch only).

💡 TIP

📝 You don't need to run the installation script every time. You can run it once, and then simply type carch in your terminal whenever you want to automatically execute the Carch script.

📦 Cargo Crate

Carch is now available on Cargo Crate!

🚀 This is the simplest and best installation method for both Arch and Fedora if you have Rust installed.

You'll need a few dependencies before installing:

Arch

sudo pacman -S --noconfirm figlet curl rust wget cargo fzf

Fedora

sudo dnf install figlet curl rust wget cargo fzf

Now, install Carch using Cargo:

cargo install carch

Once installed, simply type carch in your terminal to run it.

💡 TIP

If you already have Rust installed, you can install Carch directly with Cargo. Don't forget that fzf and figlet are required dependencies, as they are the core of the Carch menu!
