Some tips for new chakra adopters. to install a new package, there is appset-qt, a pacman front-end. (pacman is the default package management tool in arch linux)
But here, I am gonna talk about the command line. Installing packages from official repository $ sudo pacman -S <package-name> (without the brackets. more package names separated with space. ) Installing packages downloaded locally $ sudo pacman -U <package-name> Removing an installed package $ sudo pacman -R <package-name> Removing an installed package with its dependencies and deleting it from package cache $ sudo pacman -Rsn <package-name> Installing a package from CCR (chakra community repo) $ ccr -S <package-name> Installing a package from AUR (arch user repository) $ packer -S <package name> Searching official package for availability of a package $ sudo pacman -Ss <package-name> Searching local package cache to determine whether a package is installed or not $ sudo pacman -Q <package-name> All of this can be done through GUI interface too.
