Project NOMAD on Arch

[EERomeo]

Hi, first of all, thank you to the developers for all the work you have put into this project!

In today's geo-political landscape, I rather have this and never use it, than not having it if it gets to needing something like it!

What I wanted to share, if there are newer linux users, it works flawlessly on arch, tested all the features on Omarchy specifically. You just have to modify the install script a little and it should install like on any other linux distro.

I can share my changes if anyone needs it and it is permitted!

Thanks and have fun!

i would be curious as the modifications you need to make for this to run with in Arch bases.

new to bash and arch, and the main thing i see happening is a check for Debian but i doubt it's as simple as that.

well, it's actually that simple, I just used the install link from the project page but modified the last part sudo bash install_nomad.sh to nvim install_nomad.sh to open it with NeoVim once it downloads.
I modified the install script by commenting out the check_is_debian function (line 541) and also made sure any apt-get is replaced by pacman equivalents. In my case I already had the dependancies installed so it did not had to install anything extra.
That's it, than I ran the installer and everything works, I actually have it installed on a USB stick so I can boot it on any mahcine! - Doomsday portable encyclopedia and AI helper.
