Research direction

Locate the install script section for Arch-derived distributions and compare its listed Vulkan package with the package available through pacman. Check the reported command on an Arch derivative, then update the dependency name if confirmed and verify that the script's dependency installation succeeds.

Current Behavior

I installed the dependencies mentioned in the install script for Arch derivative distributions
manually with pacman. I did not run the install script. However when I tried to install the software package
vulkan-loader I got an error. This is the exact error:
error: target not found: vulkan-loader. This means that the package was not found within the official arch repository.

I believe that vulkan-loader should be replaced with vulkan-devel in order to fulfill the dependnecies.

I hope this will be of help to you :)
