[m-users.] I'm back and I need help!

I know this isn't a direct answer, but VoidLinux has a Mercury package
in the repo, I contributed packaging scripts few years ago. It's as
easy as `xbps-install mercury` there.
You could also use `xbps` and `xbps-src` on any Linux distro (or
probably WSL? I've never tried) to build the Void package elsewhere
too, similar to pkgsrc or portage.

(Please forgive me if I come across a touch Forest Gump: even back in the day I only had half a clue about Linux admin.)  If anyone can offer advice, I'd be most grateful.  I've installed Arch Linux under WSL and I'm trying to install Mercury using the instructions at Mercury packages for .deb based systems <https://dl.mercurylang.org/deb/>
