I am looking to set up a calibre-server instance on a Raspberry Pi3 running Arch Linux ARM. My Calibre library will be rsync'ed over to the Pi from my main Calibre setup on a different computer.

I see a recent version of Calibre is available for easy installation via pacman:

[root@rpi3b]# pacman -Si calibre

I am running Arch Linux so as to be as light as possible to save resources on the Pi.
Command line only. No X. After a quick look at https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/server.html and also "calibre-server --help", it looks like what I'm trying to do is pretty well documented. But the web URL mentions:

Note:
The calibre server does not need a running X server, but it does need the X libraries installed as some components it uses link against them.

calibre-server --userdb /srv/calibre/users.sqlite --manage-users

But the above output from pacman -Si does not list the X libraries as a dependency. Nor does it list sqlite. Are there other unlisted dependencies as well? Is there documentation somewhere for ALL the dependencies that I will need to install to get a working calibre-server?

Sorry if these are stupid questions. I have decades of Linux experience, but only about two hours of Arch-specific experience. Possibly am I using the wrong options for pacman to list everything I need for Calibre?
