Did you already go through the suggestions in the Linux install instructions? > **[Linux - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/platform/linux/intro.html)** > > Anki's user manual. Anki is a flashcard program that makes learning easier. ---

> [@Alowne](#): > > `makepkg` I don’t know why you use `makepkg` (anki has install and uninstall scripts and puts its files in a separate path, so that the files don’t interfere with system libs). But the error is stated in your log: > ./ninja: line 18: /home/lust/Documents/Apps: No such file or directory Maybe running `mkdir /home/lust/Documents/Apps` will solve it (in case “Apps” is a directory). ---
