Any easy way to install this on Arch without flatpak or snap ?

@pvagner @treefit
Aur is basically building from source, not so easy, it would be great to just download some package and install like .deb in debian.

@Davidsm @pvagner AUR is easy. I think "paru" is the current state of the art tool for installing/building from AUR.

Or you just install the pacman package from here: https://download.delta.chat/desktop/v1.51.0/

@treefit @pvagner
Ohh, thanks. This is perfect, perhaps that pacman package should be in https://get.delta.chat ?

@Davidsm @pvagner If it works well, then feel free to make an pr to the website repo: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-pages/blob/14750cfa895eb0f4be49a4cc668d90cbf963bd85/_includes/download-boxes.html#L165

I personally think people should use the official arch package instead, though the maintainer didn't have time to update it yet: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/deltachat-desktop/

@treefit @pvagner it worked perfectly, thanks, I also would like to just use the repos but it has been outdated for a while so it is good to have this alternative.
