Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/104

tl;dr I couldn't find the man page for barrier because it doesn't exist. I suggest adding a barrier man page.

Operating Systems

Server: Arch Linux

$ uname -r
4.17.10-1-ARCH

Client: same

Barrier Version

2.1.0

Steps to reproduce bug

Install barrier from the AUR.

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/barrier.git
$ cd barrier
$ makepkg -si

wait, enter password when prompted to install

$ man barrier
No manual entry for barrier
$ info barrier
info: No menu item 'barrier' in node '(dir)Top'

Other info

  • When did the problem start to occur? Immediately after installing
  • Is there a way to work around it? Yes, documentation is available on the internet
  • Does this bug prevent you from using Barrier entirely? No

Okay after writing all of this, I realized the man pages are barrierc and barriers at the least, I think there should be a page for just barrier that says something like look up barrierc or barriers.

Hi, could you tell me the procedures to install in CENTOS 7 as a Server and a Windows 7 (x86).

Thanks in advance!

@PauloBoaventura There isn't an rpm at the moment. Also, please don't highjack github issues for unrelated questions.

The only advice I can give is to download the .tar.bz2 from the releases page. Then copy the bin folder to ~/.local, and do the same with the share folder.
