$ pacaur -Syu

try on your machine

The command "pacaur -Syu" is used in Arch Linux-based systems to update all installed packages on the system.

Here's a breakdown of each component of the command:

"pacaur" is the name of the package manager. Pacaur is a popular AUR (Arch User Repository) helper utility. It streamlines the installation and management of packages from the AUR, a community-driven repository for user-contributed packages.
"-S" is an option used with package managers to install or upgrade packages. In this case, it's used to update the system packages.
"yu" is a combination of two options: "-y" and "-u".
- "-y" or "--refresh" option updates the package database by downloading the latest package information from the repositories.
- "-u" or "--sysupgrade" option upgrades all installed packages to their latest versions.

So, when you run the "pacaur -Syu" command, it updates the package database and then upgrades all packages to their latest versions, ensuring that your system has the most up-to-date software.
