pacman

Arch Linux package manager utility. Some subcommands such as pacman sync have their own usage documentation. More information: https://man.archlinux.org/man/pacman.8.

• Synchronize and update all packages:
   
  sudo pacman --sync --refresh --sysupgrade
   
• Install a new package:
   
  sudo pacman --sync {{package_name}}
   
• Remove a package and its dependencies:
   
  sudo pacman --remove --recursive {{package_name}}
   
• Search the package database for a regular expression or keyword:
   
  pacman --sync --search "{{search_pattern}}"
   
• List installed packages and versions:
   
  pacman --query
   
• List only the explicitly installed packages and versions:
   
  pacman --query --explicit
   
• List orphan packages (installed as dependencies but not actually required by any package):
   
  pacman --query --unrequired --deps --quiet
   
• Empty the entire pacman cache:
   
  sudo pacman --sync --clean --clean
