How to use Pacman on Arch Linux 🚀

Pacman is the official package manager for Arch Linux and is also used in other Arch-based distributions such as Manjaro. It features dependency support, package groups, install and uninstall scripts, and more. To install a package, users can run the command pacman -S followed by the package name, such as sudo pacman -S vim. This command will install the package and its dependencies. To uninstall a package, users can run the command pacman -Rns followed by the package name, such as sudo pacman -Rns vim. This command will remove the package, its dependencies, and system configuration files. To update all programs with new versions, users can run the command sudo pacman -Syu, which updates the package list and upgrades all packages. Users can also search for packages by running the command pacman -Ss followed by the package name. Pacman offers various options for listing packages, including listing all installed packages, explicitly installed packages, and packages from specific repositories. Additionally, users can clean up unnecessary packages from the cache and remove unused repositories by running the command sudo pacman -Sc. Mastering Pacman is an essential skill for any Arch Linux user, allowing them to easily manage their system's software and keep it up to date.
