Ive tried googling and can't figure it out
You have 2 system firewall packages installed, iptables and iptables-nft, they are in conflict
Uninstall one of them

how?
sudo pacman -R package_name
says right there in the error message: the packages iptables and iptables-nft are in conflict, meaning they cannot be installed at the same time. just pressing y when ghe prompt comes up should remove the conflicting package.
it passes that, thats why I am asking
The default is not to remove. Are you just hitting , or are you typing in Y?
if I could type Y I would, all 3 ways to install a .run file automatically skips me being able to type y
Weird. Looks like you aren't running it via sudo. If that's not working, then manually uninstall one of the firewalls. However CatchyOS does that, I'm not familiar with it. Debian would be apt remove iptables-nft Seems like an arch derived would be pacman -something. You should know the command if you're running that distro.
no, you cant run it sudo I had to uninstall iptables via pacman sudo pacman -R iptables
Solution sudo pacman -R iptables
