aurman: Install a new package.
$ aurman --sync ${package_name}
try on your machine

The command "aurman --sync ${package_name}" is likely used in an Arch Linux system with the AUR (Arch User Repository) package manager called "aurman" installed. Let's break it down into parts:

  • "aurman" is the name of the package manager that enables users to install and manage packages from the Arch User Repository, which contains community-contributed packages not present in the official repositories.

  • "--sync" is an option or flag used with the "aurman" command. It tells "aurman" to synchronize the AUR package database with the local system, updating information about available packages and versions.

  • "${package_name}" refers to a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the name of the specific package you want to install or update from the AUR. This can be any package available in the AUR.

Overall, the command is used to synchronize the AUR package list with your local system and install/update the specified package from the AUR.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
