pacaur: Install a new package (includes AUR).

pacaur

$ pacaur -S ${package_name}

try on your machine

The command "pacaur -S ${package_name}" is used to install a package using the Pacaur package manager on Arch Linux or an Arch-based system.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"pacaur" is the name of the package manager itself. Pacaur is an AUR (Arch User Repository) helper, which makes installing packages from the AUR easier.
"-S" is a flag used with pacaur to specify that you want to install a package. It stands for "synchronize" or "sync." When used with pacaur, it downloads and installs the specified package from the AUR or the official Arch repositories if it's available there.
"${package_name}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the package you want to install. You need to replace it with the name of the package you're interested in installing. For example, if you want to install the package called "firefox," you would replace "${package_name}" with "firefox."

So, when you run the command "pacaur -S ${package_name}", it instructs pacaur to download and install the specified package from the AUR or the official repositories.
