paru:tldr:58726

The command "paru" is a package manager utility for Arch Linux and its derivatives. It is used to search, install, upgrade, and remove software packages from the official repositories as well as the Arch User Repository (AUR).

In the command "paru ${package_name_or_search_term}", the "${package_name_or_search_term}" is a placeholder for either the name of a specific package or a search term you want to use to find packages.

If you provide the name of a specific package, paru will try to install that package along with its dependencies. For example, if you run "paru firefox" it will search for and install the Firefox web browser if it is available.

If you provide a search term instead, paru will search the repositories and the AUR for packages that match that term. It will then display a list of search results for you to choose from. For example, if you run "paru text editor", it will search for packages related to text editors and display the search results.

In summary, the command "paru ${package_name_or_search_term}" allows you to use the paru package manager to either install a specific package or search for packages based on a given term.
