- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- In my "Linux Crash Course" series, I go over the basic details of one Linux command or service in each episode in order to teach you the basics. In this episode, I go over the "pacman" command, which is the package manager for Arch Linux and other distributions that are based on Arch Linux.

#Arch #ArchLinux #Linux
tutorials like this make learning linux so much easier and i think fun. I appreciate the content keep it up!
Count on it. I have a ton of videos on my hard drive that are just waiting to be uploaded - expect 30+ episodes (at least) within the next year or so. I don't see this series ending soon, if ever.
@@LearnLinuxTV Thats awesome man. Its certainly helping thousands of people, myself included obviously. Keep up the hard work!
I know this video is old but I'm tryinng to learn different Linux distros and this REALLY helped understand the package manager for Arch. The parts where you go over orphans and how to find packages was some of the stuff I needed Thank you!
Awesome, moved over to Manjaro and this is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much.
Same! High five 😂
man u are kinda best linux guide maker i`ve found yet on the YT
That looks awesome. I'll install Arch and try it
This Video really helped me with my guide on using Arch thank you i will learn some more from this amazing channel
Use reflector to refresh mirrors.
Jay this was a great video. I followed it like a tutorial. I updated my mirrorlist and got much quicker connections. You went a little fast toward the end there (that's my own fault for not knowing Nano very well), but you never skipped a step (thank goodness for the pause button) and mine worked just like yours did! Thanks so much.. Joe
I love you, man. And subscribed
Sir, your a gem. I resently picked up linux due to the fact that windows is... well, its just windows (crap), and with me being a quantum sponge i just enjoy learning (i cant stop) lol, i couldn't help notice that your mining in the backgroung (sorry) i was wondering if you were mining on windows or linux, and if linux could you kindly post a video on how to do so, like i said your a gem and thanks for all you do.
Mining? Sorry, I don't know what you're referring to.
@@LearnLinuxTV , oh okay cool, in the begining of your video you have a screen in the background with what looks like phoenix minner running on it, i was just wondering if it was on windows or linux thats all.
@@LearnLinuxTV but if you dont know then you dont know, thank you for your quick response btw
Yes, Brilliant Lifesaver!! New dude to Manjaro and this so helped!!! Thank You
Thanks Jay, very insightful
Are there any CLI / GUI tools to automatically regenerate the mirrorlist instead of manually always visiting that page and copy-paste the sources to the file?
Feels a bit tedious to manually maintain this.
Wonderful teaching
As always a great video. Any comments on ‘paru’. Watched a couple of videos suggesting yay was not being supported and you should switch to paru. It seems one of the yay developers is starting a new branch of an Aur helper.
I heard its being maintained but no new features are being added. So yay should still be usable for the foreseeable future.
nice basic video. been doing rhel/debian distros for years but trying manjaro for the first time. don't care about pretty window styles and graphics; i'm a command line kinda guy
Thanks for the content!
Thank you man 👍👍
Hi, quick question how do i enable script to handle both relative and absolute paths correctly. Lets say i have a file root/my-folder a root/script.sh and a lot of files root/my-folder/.dat . The script needs to access every file and do some string operations on each of them, then prints the result.
It's not my cup of tea, but good video.
Jay go back and read the documentation!
I'm sorry, but I'm not really understanding what your concern is. You mentioned an issue with reflector, but I'm not using that in this video.
Thank you, Jay. I love Debian's APT but I really respect pacman.
I was getting used to pacman on Manjaro on my Pinebook Pro, but I just switched to Armbian. Having had at least one computer running Ubuntu forever now, it's sort of nostalgic to be back on APT.
@@cards2468 APT is so clear and robust. I only use software stores (like Pop Shop) for the rare flatpak. Sometimes I use Synaptic. But I primarily use APT in terminal (I usually update every morning).
Yaay! You remembered to put on your PacMan T-shirt this time :D Thanks a lot for this video, Jay. I recently installed an Arch Linux VM and had no idea how pacman worked, so this will definitely will come in handy.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Please upload about what are repositories and packages
U could use the package reflector, which will generate you the mirror list. It is a command line tool.
Plus it comes with a systemd timer or you can use it as a pacman hook

I was dual booting Arch with Windows 10. And got busy with work and gaming for stress relief. When I went to -Syy then -Syu, I was given an error that it could not update.
Just wanted to learn a little bit about pacman because I am testing Manjaro Linux and I am considering adopting it instead of Linux Mint in my notebook. The package manager is simples and is easier to use than apt. Like and favourite for future reference. Thank you so much, sir! God bless you.
Thank you. Very helpful, clear and concise.
I have just moved to Manjaro and this video was of great help.
Thank you.
Does pacman have an equivalent to apt autoremove? It would be convenient if so, so that one does not have to manually enter a long list of orphaned packages
Not officially (as far as I'm aware, someone please correct me). You can chain commands together to achieve that, so I may do another video on this in the future.
@@LearnLinuxTV pacman -Sc?? Maybe?
I guess it's pacman -Rns
If you have the paru aur helper, you can use "paru -c". Or, you can also do "sudo pacman -Rs $(pacman -Qqdt)"
Can I use pacman to install from the aur? Good job with your explanations.
any way to remove dependencies from pacman?
Thank you, sir! It was really useful!
Most of the time (like 99%) there is no need to use -Syy, it would just cause unnecessary stress on the mirrors, you just need -Sy, and (unless you know what you are doing) always update all packages after the sync (-Syu) don't install a new one after only syncing or you run the risk of breaking a dependency of the not updated packages . wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/System_maintenance#Partial_upgrades_are_unsupported
Thank you, Jay, for sharing. I am a new Linux user and, I just downloaded Zero Linux. I am pleased that you are so willing to help us, who know nothing. However, I really do like this distro, and I am looking forward to learning Arch.
Thanks Jay, just moved to Manjaro from Mint and getting used to pacman over apt. Just the quick primer I needed. Interesting to note that Manjaro has its own utility for mirrors - pacman-mirrors, where you can examine, configure and update your mirrorlist.
great stuff my guy
Your information needs to be updated because rsynk isn't installed via default any longer, so reflector can't synk correctly to the server mirrors that are up, ie sudo pacman - S rsynk then man rsynk then find the correct commands for pacman.d/ save in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Im not familiar with this distro but in fordora we can block some updates and take the rest with this command
sudo dnf update -x kernel*,mesa*,libdrm*,xorg-x11-dru-a
does pacman have a command like that?
Thank you
perfect
Hi there.
You can also use reflector or reflector-simple(AUR) from the command line.
Additional features of Pacman are 1/ parallel downloads, I have 25 setup. 2/ color, ILoveCandy
These can be edited in /etc/pacman.conf, just remove the # at the beginning of the line.
Have fun and enjoy.
Many thanks Jay, You have been a great help over the years, always 'LIKE'!,
I installed Manjaro for the first time 36 hours ago..no sleep! and before I looked on 'youtube' for help and saw your Tutorial, "Fantastic" for me, maybe a bit too late.
I updated my Mirrors as per the Tutorial,.

There are a few " is newer than core" readings.
Am I in trouble??
Advice Please
Why ppl are scared of linux I dunno........the basics, which are what we use most of the time anyway are quite easy to get a hang of. If youve had any experience with Dos, learning to move around the file system with CD or making directories, deleting files etc, doestn take much learning.......and things like installing and uninstalling SW is quite easy too..Im a noob but Im finding the basics very easy to learn, as I think most people would. Most ppl are just scared of the terminal and theres no need to be. Thank you for your uploads.
I love pacman, itś awesome to have acces to so many repos on the go jst like that, it is wild! Quick lesson I learned it might alter your configuration like now all of the sudden my usb ports are gone on my desktop for example. I run pacman on my phone I flashed it, desktop Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Gnome phone phosh archlinux/gnome and waydroid. I cannot reset nor restore the usb ports on desktop lsusb, chmod +x usbreset, sudo ./usbreset /dev/bus/usb/, sudo -H gedit /etc/default/grub in Bios but even there they do not recognize connected devices. Archlinux has locked the phone as well, mobile data and texts so I might be looking in the wrong place on the desktop. archlinux runs fantastic on that pine phone and I pacmanned to wild too early too quick. I will never let go this apt Ubuntu desktop, such a pearl I do understand pacman and why you need to respect it as someone noted before. I am guilty lol!!
Hey superseeker password man, you're such a great teacher with owesome experience. I did your Diploma course on Alison.
how to install apps not in the archlinuxorg example labelImg could you help pls im a noob in linux
Been on linux for a couple of months now, like mint.. Installed it on all my desktops and have mow installed it onto a Linx 2 in 1 cherry tral machine, cant get the wifi working whatsoever.. it uses a broadcom card.. any chance on a vid on broadcom as it seems to be a common problem...
I had been listening to your video for seven minutes, while tabbed out, before realizing it was "package manager" and not "PAC-MAN" the arcade video game title.
Do I need to install pacman for this to work?
Thank you much , im a 30 year windows convert and these videos really help me
I genuinely thank you a lot. I was always clueless as to what commands in tutorials for app installations actually did. Now I know. Thanks a lot.
Thank you very helpful video.
thank you jay, your tutorials help me a lot for learning linux
Very nice and helpful. Thanks!!!!
i learn more about my laptop cuz using arch, most unique distro for me
An excellent and outstanding tutorial, THX!!
Great explanation...thank you sir
Thankyou sir!
Thanks Jay, another easily understandable and educational video.. Any change you could do a video on installing pygame using apt ... on ubuntu for instance just for fun :)
Amazing
Great Video. dude
Jay, I love your channel but the mid roll ads are just too annoying. It 's now limiting the videos I watch, and even then I stop at the1st ad. I understand you have to make the channel pay, but.. .. . .
Just arrow past them.
sudu ?
Hi when I do [hiswill@hiscomputer ~]$ cat /ect/pacman.d/mirrorlist
cat: /ect/pacman.d/mirrorlist: No such file or directory My os is Manjaro
You misspelled "etc"
