pacman: Install a new package.
$ sudo pacman -S ${package_name}
try on your machine
The command "sudo pacman -S ${package_name}" is a Linux command used in the Arch Linux distribution. Let's break it down:
- "sudo" stands for "superuser do", which allows the user to execute commands with administrative privileges.
- "pacman" is the package manager used in Arch Linux for package installation, removal, and updates.
- "-S" is the option flag for the "pacman" command, specifically used for package installation.
- "${package_name}" is a placeholder that represents the name of the package you want to install. It should be replaced with the actual name of the package you want to install.
So, when you run the command "sudo pacman -S ${package_name}", you are instructing the package manager to install the specified package with administrative privileges. Note that you need to replace "${package_name}" with the actual name of the package you want to install.
