How can I install Multilib Packages from the Multilib Repo?

Hi I understand the disabled feature of using pacman while it running given the immutable part of the distro. I am not sure how to enable the multilib repo. I tried uncommenting the two lines in the pacman.conf and running

sudo akshara update

sudo akshara update

and it didn't allow me to install the package that I wanted which steam is what I would like to install.

Solution:

add it as an alternate mirror

add it as an alternate mirror

Asterisk•2w ago

this should work for now until I can make an MR to add multilib permanently

do I put it in the system.yaml?

Asterisk•2w ago

Yeah make the name multilib and the URL <your favorite mirror>/$repo/os/$arch

package-repos: 
  - name: 'REPO_NAME'
  - repo-url: 'REPO_URL'

package-repos: 
  - name: 'REPO_NAME'
  - repo-url: 'REPO_URL'

reading the docs so like that and then I can just insert the package in the packages entry to install?

yes oh wait you did it wrong no hyphen before repo-url read the docs
