+```bash
+# For Debian 13+, Ubuntu 24.04+ and derivatives
+sudo apt install libopusfile0 xclip xsel
+
+# For Debian 12+, Ubuntu 22.04+ and derivatives
+sudo apt install libopusfile0 xclip xsel
+
+# For Manjaro and derivatives
+pamac install opusfile xclip xsel
+
+# For Arch and derivatives
+sudo pacman -Sy opusfile xclip xsel
+
+# Clipboard support on Wayland: If the clipboard is not
+# working correctly on Wayland with xclip and xsel, you
+# can install wl-clipboard and wl-clipboard-x11 instead.
+pamac remove xclip xsel
+pamac install wl-clipboard wl-clipboard-x11
