It has taken quit a bit of time, but I got Yazi working on BradAsus laptop. I will put a file in Dropbox/Computer/Linux, but in case I look here first, here's a description of how it was done:
- Obtain Yazi from https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/installation
- On Linux Mint, you can use Debian based Linux instructions in the above link to install dependancies (there are instructions for Arch too). If you run yazi --debug, it will show that Magick is missing (on Linux Mint anyway. The name for the binary in ImageMagick that yazi expects is magick. That does not exist in Linux Mint so you need to create a link from /usr/bin/convert to /usr/bin/magick
- Install Hack Nerd Fonts from Github.
- You need a sixel enabled st terminal. The hardest part of this whole process. I will upload a copy of my config.h and patches.h so I can compile on other machines.
- Get patched st from https://github.com/bakkeby/st-flexipatch
- Edit patches.h (as su), then config.mk to reflect patches.h, then config.h. I had hours of problems with fonts being too small and overlapping. I think there was a line in patches.h causing the issue. You will will also need to change the font in config.h to be 'size' and not 'pixelsize'.
- sudo make clean install to install.
