Upscayl emerges as a lighthouse for both professionals and enthusiasts alike, offering an AI-powered solution to enhance images without compromising the finer details. This article aims to guide you through the installation of Upscayl on Manjaro, an Arch-based Linux distribution, and help you upscale your images to unprecedented quality.

This article assumes that you possess at least a basic understanding of Linux, know how to navigate the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation process is quite straightforward and assumes you are operating in the root account. If not, you might need to append ‘sudo’ to the commands to acquire root privileges.

Primary requirements

• A desktop or server running Manjaro or any other Arch-based distribution.
• It is recommended to utilize a fresh OS installation to avoid potential conflicts.
• Access to SSH server (or simply open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
• A reliable internet connection for downloading and installing packages. Be sure to verify your connection before proceeding.
• Access to a Manjaro Linux system with a non-root sudo user or root user.

Step-by-Step Installation of Upscayl on Manjaro

Step 1: Update System Packages

To ensure all your system packages are up-to-date, run the following command in the terminal:

sudo pacman -Syu

This command synchronizes the package database and updates all installed packages to the latest version.

Step 2: Install Flatpak

Before proceeding with the Upscayl installation, verify that Flatpak is installed on your Manjaro system. If it isn’t, install it using the following command:

pamac install flatpak

Flathub is a one-stop repository for finding and installing Flatpak applications. If it’s not already added to your system, you can do so with the following command:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Step 3: Install Upscayl on Manjaro

With Flathub configured, you’re now ready to install Upscayl. Execute the following command to start the installation process:

flatpak install flathub org.upscayl.Upscayl

This command fetches and installs Upscayl along with any dependencies, ensuring a smooth setup.

Step 4: Launch Upscayl on Manjaro

Once the installation is complete, you can launch Upscayl using the following command:

flatpak run org.upscayl.Upscayl

If you wish to uninstall Upscayl at any point, you can do so with the following command:

flatpak uninstall org.upscayl.Upscayl
