Hello, after installing community/meshroom, I'm looking for how to start it. Following https://meshroom-manual.readthedocs.io/en/latest/first-steps/install/index.h... I looked for some Meshroom command, but couldn't find it. What am I doing wrong? Kind regards, Peter
Hi Peter, looking at the package contents[1], it looks like the binary is just called "meshroom" and is installed to /usr/bin/meshroom. You can also check what files are installed by the locally installed package using $ pacman -Ql meshroom Or you can list files of remote packages using # pacman -Fy # update local files cache $ pacman -Fl meshroom [1]: https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/meshroom/ On Sun, 2023-01-15 at 11:37 +0100, Peter Nabbefeld wrote:

Hi Sefa, sorry, I'm not often working with package details, just because lack of time, so I missed to look into the contents. Thank You for giving me the correct location, I could finally start it! :) Kind regards, Peter Am 15.01.23 um 13:08 schrieb Sefa Eyeoglu:

Hello, Meshroom has a binary installed into /usr/bin/meshroom so I do not know why you can't start it. Plus shouldn't it have a systemd task, it seems like it is a server software thus should be managed by a systemd task. Also following external docs are normally not recommended and you should stick to ArchWiki specific documentation which specifically cover how to setup the package provided by Arch Linux, but A quick ArchWiki search and I can't find any page so obviously this has not been added to the ArchWiki. If I have time I will make a page for this on the ArchWiki, but I am unsure how popular the package is so I am not sure if I will be wasting my time or not.

Hello Polarian, thank You for Your reply! I looked for a wiki entry first, and when I couldn't find that, I looked into the README, telling me I should look at readthedocs. I looked there for instructions, telling me the name "Meshroom", with capital "M". Therefore I'll be very happy when You add some instructions to ArchWiki, though the most important part is done (and I'll be able to create the desktop file).
