yaourt: Search the package database for a keyword (including AUR).
$ yaourt -Ss ${package_name}
try on your machine
The command "yaourt -Ss ${package_name}" is used in the Arch Linux operating system to search and display information about packages available in the Arch User Repository (AUR).
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "yaourt" is a popular AUR helper, which helps users easily search, install, and manage packages from the AUR.
- "-Ss" is an option for yaourt, where "-S" specifies the installation of a package and "-s" specifies to search for a package.
- "${package_name}" is a placeholder that represents the name of the package you want to search for. You need to replace it with the actual name of the package you are looking for.
When you execute this command, yaourt will search the AUR for packages that match the given ${package_name}. It will display a list of results showing package names along with a short description. This helps users find the desired package and get more information about it before proceeding with the installation.
