Unable to install Stremio

Has anyone succeeded in installing Stremio? How did you do it?

The title says “unable to install Stremio”.

What method did you use and what failed. Do you have some terminal output to give people some ideas?

There is a flatpak

And a few AUR packages:

Appears to be linked to “qt5-webengine”. Yay is taking ages to complete this section of download/install.
```Cloning into bare repository ‘/home/merlin/.cache/yay/qt5-webengine/qtwebengine-chromium’…

```
Tried Pamac but it just didnt want to know.

Qt5-webengine requires the chromium web backend, which takes a looong time to compile.

As @Schlaefer said. You are practically compiling a substantial part of the Chromium’s source code. That will take time.

If you are not flatpak intolerant, you may want to try that. Seems to be official.

Got it. Not a fan of Chromium. Probably give Flatpak a try instead then.
Thanks for the help.
