Requirements

pacman-contrib - optional, but recommended. For checkupdates and rankmirrors scripts.

Supported pacman wrappers

paru, trizen, yay

Supported terminals

alacritty, foot, gnome-terminal, konsole, kitty, lxterminal, terminator, tilix, xterm, yakuake

*yakuake used the D-Bus method runCommand. So you need installed qdbus. But in general, I do not recommend using this terminal with this plasmoid.

Required utilities for options:

Arch Linux News: paru or yay
Plasma Widgets: curl, jq, xmlstarlet, unzip, tar
Mirrorlist Generator: curl, pacman-contrib
