I use Arch btw
pacman
#
The famous packet manager for Archlinux.
Basic usage#
1pacman -S package # install package
2pacman -R package # uninstall package
3pacman -Syu # check for package updates
4pacman -Q # list installed packages
5pacman -Q word # list installed packages containing word
Bonus#
Nothing to do with pacman
, but you can install packages from the AUR repo too!
1cd ~/.local/share
2git clone aur_repo
3cd aur_repo
4makepkg -isc
AUR packages are updated by the community and are meant to be built from source, in order to optimize the package for your machine.
