+The pacman [[id:b7c4f849-d1b1-4837-8634-82f6976a1473][package-manager]] is one of the major distinguishing features of Arch Linux and [[id:5fada795-19a3-4ba6-97c0-0b70bd728a2f][Arco-Linux]] . It combines a simple binary package format with an easy-to-use build system. The goal of pacman is to make it possible to easily manage packages, whether they are from the official repositories or the user's own builds.
+
+Pacman keeps the system up-to-date by synchronizing package lists with the master [[id:f2b1d5af-1a7d-47a5-95c8-4a85d558419e][server]]. This server/[[id:70899526-8b7d-4976-94fc-cc07c41e550a][client]] model also allows the user to download/install packages with a simple command, complete with all required dependencies.
+* Installing specific packages
+To install a single package or list of packages, including dependencies, issue the following command:
+#+begin_src bash
+  pacman -S package_name1 package_name2
+#+end_src
+* upgrading packages
+Pacman can update all packages on the system with just one command. This could take quite a while depending on how up-to-date the system is. The following command synchronizes the repository databases and updates the system's packages, excluding "local" packages that are not in the configured repositories:
+#+begin_src 
+ pacman -Syu
+#+end_src
+* ask no permissions
+ #+begin_src 
+ pacman -Suy --noconfirm
+ #+end_src
