I'm trying my existing project in a new machine and wasn't able to build the rust project as it was missing libclang which is a system package. This is required to build rocksdb in rust.

Would be great if there was a mechanim to install system packages. I'm primarily interested in ArchLinux's pacman and paru.

This usually needs sudo permission.

This kind of feature has definitely been on my roadmap since v0 days. I have some ideas on how to do it, but it's a bit complicated since each OS has many different ways to "install system packages".

In proto, I'm working on a "build from source" approach, which would have similar functionality. I plan to share the code between the 2.
