Arch-based Linux distribution: Confix is specifically designed for Arch-based distributions.
yay: Confix utilizes yay as the package manager for installing and managing packages.
JSON configuration file: You need a valid JSON configuration file located at ~/.config/confix/packages.json that lists the packages you want Confix to manage.

Dependencies

Confix requires the following dependencies to be installed on your system:

jsoncpp: A C++ library for handling JSON data.

You can install these dependencies on Arch-based systems using the following command:
