How to Install compiz-core with CLI on Arch Linux (Manjaro, Anarchy)

compiz-core is «This is the latest stable release of Compiz without DE deps (Core w/o decorator)» quoting from its outline. To install and update this package ( compiz-core ) from AUR (Arch User Repository) on Arch Linux and Arch-based distributions (e.g. Manjaro, EndeavourOS, RebornOS, Garuda, Artix, Parabola) is pretty straightforward. This guide will taught you how to install/update/uninstall the package with either the default package manager pacman or an AUR helper like yay .

Table of Contents

Installation link

Two common methods are used to install compiz-core from AUR. pacman is the choice for you if you’re a seasoned Linux user and have the knowledge of how packages are built. If not, yay is a convenient alternative to install packages without the hassle of reviewing PKGBUILD and build packages with makepkg yourself.

Install with pacman link

sudo pacman -S --needed git && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/compiz-core.git && cd compiz-core && makepkg -sicontent_copy

1. Install git if required (not installed before).
2. clone the package’s git repository from upstream URL.
3. cd into the directory that we just cloned.
4. Use makepkg to build the package, then install it with pacman .

Install with yay link

yay -S compiz-corecontent_copy

Updating link

Just like installing AUR packages, updating them is fairly the same. Simply pull it from AUR then re-build it. However, it is still a good practice to upgrade your whole system first with sudo pacman -Syu before updating any packages to avoid dependency issues, since Arch is a rolling-release Linux distro.

Update with pacman link

Check if you are in the directory of the repository you previously cloned before running the command:

git pull && makepkg -sicontent_copy

1. pull from the package’s git repository.
2. Build the package with makepkg , then update it with pacman .

Update with yay link

Uninstallation link

Compared to installing and updating packages, uninstalling is the most uncomplicated of these three,all you have to do is choose whether to remove the unused dependencies and the configuration files used by the package.

Uninstall with pacman link

sudo pacman -R compiz-corecontent_copy

sudo pacman -Rs compiz-corecontent_copy

sudo pacman -Rns compiz-corecontent_copy

Uninstall with yay link

yay -R compiz-corecontent_copy

yay -Rs compiz-corecontent_copy

yay -Rns compiz-corecontent_copy

The last update doesn’t downgrade any packages, but uses C++17 to build.

I don’t know if this means anything, but about 12 hours ago (before you made the protobuf downgrade C++17 update) I encountered a similar error and downgraded the abseil-cpp package to abseil-cpp-20220623.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst at https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/a/abseil-cpp/

Then the build was successful.

Looks like protobuf-23.3-1-x86_64 has broken the build of this package (along with python-protobuf-23.3-1)

@Boradorka Sorry, I did not see your message sooner. I do not know the cause of your error. distutils is normally provided by python itself. However, you appear to be using an aur helper. Have you tried clearing the yay and pip cache? If that doesn’t help, try building with makepkg or extra-x86_64-build .

Hello, I tried to install this package, but I met an error: Backtracking (the most recent call): Traceback (most recent call last): File «/home/jorj/.cache/yay/compiz/src/compiz-0.9.14.2/compizconfig/compizconfig-python/setup.py», line 2, in from distutils.core import setup, Command ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘distutils’ make[2]: *** [compizconfig/compizconfig-python/CMakeFiles/compizconfig_python_module.dir/build.make:75: compizconfig/compizconfig-python/build/lib.linux-unknown-3.12/compizconfig.cpython-312-x86_64 -linux-gnu.so] Error 1 make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:7686: compizconfig/compizconfig-python/CMakeFiles/compizconfig_python_module.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:166: all] Error 2 ==> ERROR: There was a failure in build(). Interrupt. -> build error: compiz-exit status 4 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required: compiz — exit status 4

I tried to fix the error by downloading python-setuptools and python-distutils-extra packages, but still, the error remained in place. Please help me.
