Hi Tim. Thank you for your commenting 🙂 Sorry for my late reply.
Haha. My case is similiar to yours: Manjaro -> Debian ->Artix (Arch-based). I have recently got familiar with pacman commands after all.
Could you elaborate on the -si argument(s) on what it does and why it's needed? 🙂
-s is shorthand for --syncdeps that means "To build the package and install needed dependencies".
-i is for --install.
-si means to build the package and then install it.
When what you want is just to build the package and not to install it, makepkg -s is useful.
When you have finished building the package, all you have to do is executing makepkg -i to install it.

Hi Heddi
Thank you so much for taking the time to craft a really insightful and friendly response! :)
This makes tones more sense to me know - for some reason I was looking up "-si" as if it was one argument and not two arguments together 🙃
Hi, Tim. You're welcome.
I'm happy if it helped you in some way 😊
