Hello everyone.
I downloaded the NetWorx files for Linux, but I don't know how to run them on Arch Linux.

Currently, we don't provide native packages for Arch Linux, so you will need to convert the DEB or RPM package to a format compatible with Arch.

A great tool for converting .deb packages to Arch Linux package format is debtap. Debtap can convert Debian, Ubuntu, and related distributions' packages into Arch Linux packages, making them installable using the Arch package manager (pacman).

Here's how you can use debtap:

First, ensure you have debtap installed. If not, you can install it from the AUR (Arch User Repository) using an AUR helper like yay or paru. For example, with yay:
yay -S debtap
After installing debtap, you need to update its database. Run:
debtap -u
Now, you're ready to convert a .deb or .rpm package. Replace path/to/package.deb with the actual path to your NetEorx .deb file:
debtap path/to/package.deb
Debtap will guide you through the conversion process, asking for input if necessary. Once converted, you'll get a .pkg.tar.zst file.

Install the converted package using pacman:
sudo pacman -U path/to/converted_package.pkg.tar.zst
