PACKAGES

Package Reference

Complete list of packages used by iNiR, organized by category. These are what the setup script installs on Arch-based systems.

The PKGBUILDs live in sdata/dist-arch/.

inir-deps is a meta-package that depends on all the groups below. It exists so that pacman -Qdtq | pacman -Rns - (clean orphans) doesn't remove iNiR's dependencies. It has no files of its own.

Optional

Not installed by default, but useful. The shell handles their absence gracefully.

Package	Purpose	Used by
warp-cli	Cloudflare WARP VPN toggle	Quick toggles panel
ollama	Local LLM for AI chat	Sidebar AI assistant
cava	Audio visualizer	Bar widget (optional)
easyeffects	Audio effects	Quick toggles panel

mpv	Media player	YTMusic sidebar
deno / node / bun	JavaScript runtime for yt-dlp	YTMusic sidebar (YouTube anti-bot)

Note: cava and easyeffects are included in inir-audio but are optional features. The toggles will be hidden if the packages aren't installed.

YTMusic Requirements: The YTMusic sidebar requires yt-dlp and mpv for playback. Additionally, yt-dlp needs a JavaScript runtime (deno, node ≥20, or bun ≥1.0.31) to solve YouTube's anti-bot challenges. Install at least one: deno (recommended), nodejs, or bun.
