pacman and apt
I tried using pacman but ran into errors, Found some info here https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Switching_package_manager ... So if I'm understanding this right, I can't use both apt and pacman at the same time and have to choose which I want to use?
I just noticed in #announcements that box64 was added to gpkg in pacman but isn't available in apt repo.

What error are you getting?
I admit though, idk how to use pacman at all
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate
thanks, that got me setup now without errors. Struggling installing stuff though, tried following something I found on google but says target not found
I can do all this stuff so much easier in apt but could never wrap my head around pacman
ok nvm I finally figured that part out
I didn't have the right package name
found it with pacman -Sl
so .. installed box64-glibc package but termux doesn't seem to have box64 binary

Where do I get grun? I can't find it in pacman or apt amd page seems to just talk about it's use?
ok I think I got it now
absolute smooth brain when it comes to this
gave a whole list of already exists errors
pacman -S glibc-runner
Seems like you didn't set pacman as default package manager, send result of command
termux-infoWill doing that change my current setup?
Or just do it:
Well, for this need change bootstrap and because there will be clear Termux but with pacman insted of apt. Dir home will remain
Ye, i was right :/
Ah ok, so if I understand right, I risk losing most of my current setup?
It depends where configured is located.
For example, zsh locates in dir
home, openssl in etc dirI use my own personal setup I put together, with xfce desktop in termux and a debian proot-distro https://github.com/phoenixbyrd/Termux_XFCE

I'd rather not reinstall again if I can avoid it ... I can test this out on my son's phone maybe
If he has the space available for it
Unfortunately, in this case you will have to reinstall everything. Also, your
setup.sh is configured to work only with apt, which means you need to configure it a little.Yea, the app installer I wrote is also configured with apt too.
