Why do you want to convert an Arch package to an AppImage? The package probably does not exist for a specific distribution, but it should be used there. No programming knowledge is required for conversion, because the task is semi-automated by script arch2appimage It was completed.
Installation is done as follows:
git clone https://github.com/redicculus/arch2appimage.git
cd arch2appimage
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Then run the script with this command:
python3 arch2appimage.py
The script loads a list of AUR packages from which an application can be selected for conversion. However, you must know the name of the application. For example, I used GNOME Calculator (GNOME Calculator):
Convert any Arch linux package (official/AUR) to AppImage!!
Loading Chaotic AUR package list...
Enter the name of the package (leave empty to quit)
[?] >>: gnome-calculator
Now it’s about answering a few simple questions or making a decision:
- app icon
- Download more recent dependencies
- Add more packages
- new construction
- Remove Application Directory
If you are not sure, you can answer “No” to all the questions. After the successful conversion, the AppImage is in the subdirectory /Outside. In my example, the file exists gnome calculator x86_64which can be operated by double-clicking.
