== Griping Preamble == Manjaro is an ancient European word meaning "Arch Linux won't support ARM". Nobody in their right mind should use Arch Linux, but for ARM devices it's sometimes the least-worst choice. == Installing packages and updating the system == The package manager, inherited from Arch Linux, is insane. Here are some common commands: ``` lang=bash, name=updates # Update the system pacman -Syu pacman --sync --refresh --sysupgrade # Like, //really// update the system pacman -Syyuu ``` ``` lang=bash, name=installing individual packages # Okay but surely there's an obvious install command... lol nope that's the -S / --sync option actually pacman -S packagename pacman --sync packagename pacman --sync ``` ``` lang=bash, name=Search for a package . . . it's bad folks # search package names in the repos pacman -Ss someregex pacman --sync --search someregex # search for files because if the package name doesn't match the binary name you're hooped above pacman -F filename pacman --files filename # search local packages I guess> pacman -D whatever pacman --database whatever ``` == External Documentation == * https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Pacman-mirrors
