Install the Chawan text browser on Artix

2025-06-15

the Arch packages doesn't compile, here's the solution

The packages 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 mostly use chawan as newsboat's browser.
