Ubuntu – pacman in Ubuntu 18.04

installationpacmanUbuntuubuntu 18.04

I am trying to install devkitPro in Ubuntu 18.04, and they are indicating that the packages are available using pacman package manager. I have installed pacman with the command sudo apt install pacman. They are indicating about using the command pacman-key --init too, but when I have attempt to use pacman-key, I get the message pacman-key: command not found.

Has someone try this before?

Thank you in advance!

There is a deb file here: https://github.com/devkitPro/pacman/releases/download/devkitpro-pacman-1.0.1/devkitpro-pacman.deb

Download it via: 

wget https://github.com/devkitPro/pacman/releases/download/devkitpro-pacman-1.0.1/devkitpro-pacman.deb

Install it via:

dpkg -i devkitpro-pacman.deb

This particular step will take a bit to complete but hang on. It will finish in several minutes:

gpg: Generating pacman keyring master key...

After it's done,

dkp-pacman -S switch-dev

You can replace switch-dev with whatever system for which you want to develop.

Log out and back in and the directory containing the binaries will be added to you path via /etc/profile.d/devkit-env.sh.
