I have a Camera Module 3 hooked to a fresh install server R4B 6.1.57-2-rpi-ARCH but libcamera-hello is not found.

[user@RaspiAllSky ~]$ libcamera-hello
-bash: libcamera-hello: command not found

[user@RaspiAllSky ~]$ yay libcamera

I searched for a while, but can’t find anything regarding that package outside of rasberry pi os. From my research the binary is provided by the package libcamera-apps. Which again is only packaged by rasberry pi os and according to repology, fedora. Out of all the linux distros. I’m only finding two of them that might have that package. You may have to build it yourself if you really need it.

The following are available in the Archlinux ARM in both aarch64 and armv7h repositories

as @d-air1 remarked libcamera-apps that contains it is unfortunately not available for aarch64, need to wait…
