The command "sudo pacman -Rs ${package_name}" is a command used in Arch Linux to remove a package from the system.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
"sudo": This is used to run the subsequent command with administrative privileges. It prompts the user to enter the administrator (root) password before executing the command.
-
"pacman": This is the package manager used in Arch Linux.
-
"-Rs": These are command-line options for the "pacman" command.
- The "-R" option is used to remove a package from the system.
- The "-s" option removes all dependencies of the package that are not required by any other package.
-
"${package_name}": This is a placeholder for the actual name of the package to be removed. The user should replace "${package_name}" with the name of the specific package they want to uninstall. It can be any package installed on the system.
So, when you run the command "sudo pacman -Rs ${package_name}", you are instructing the package manager to remove the specified package from the system along with any dependencies that are no longer needed.
