Bug description

Hi Quarto team,

I'm trying to install Quarto on my Manjaro Linux system using the AUR package quarto-cli, but the installation hangs with no prompt or progress.

Steps to reproduce

I tried to install quarto-cli, but the command is not found afterwards:

yay -S quarto-cli

quarto check
# bash: quarto: command not found

as well as:

# Download official binary
cd /tmp
wget https://quarto.org/download/latest/quarto-linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xzf quarto-linux-amd64.tar.gz

# Move to /opt and link
sudo mv quarto-* /opt/quarto
sudo ln -s /opt/quarto/bin/quarto /usr/local/bin/quarto

quarto check
# bash: quarto: command not found

Actual behavior

No response

Converting to a discussion as Quarto is not maintaining nor providing the packaged Quarto CLI from AUR.

Are you sure the path where you put Quarto CLI is actually in the PATH?

If I am being honest, I am not the biggest expert in this part of linux. Other packages just worked 😓

I will do my research later and answer then, when I find out how to do it (similar to the Docker instructions you posted in the other comment). Thanks already!

I cannot reproduce any issues when installing Quarto, so the issue is not from Quarto CLI.

FROM manjarolinux/base:latest

RUN QUARTO_VERSION=1.7.31 && \
    curl -LO -k "https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/releases/download/v${QUARTO_VERSION}/quarto-${QUARTO_VERSION}-linux-amd64.tar.gz" && \
    tar -C /opt -xvzf "quarto-${QUARTO_VERSION}-linux-amd64.tar.gz" && \
    ln -s "/opt/quarto-${QUARTO_VERSION}/bin/quarto" /usr/local/bin/quarto && \
    rm -rf "quarto-${QUARTO_VERSION}-linux-amd64.tar.gz"

docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t manjaro-quarto .
docker container run --rm -it --platform linux/amd64 manjaro-quarto quarto --version
