paci
Paci is a command line tool used for managing Arch Linux package installations. It is specifically designed to help users browse, search, install, remove, and update packages effortlessly.
Using Paci, users can access the Arch User Repository (AUR) and install packages not found in the official repositories. This gives users a wider range of software options to choose from.
Paci provides a simple and intuitive interface, allowing users to easily navigate through packages and view their descriptions, versions, and dependencies. It also displays the download and install size for each package.
With Paci, users can perform actions on multiple packages simultaneously, such as installing or removing multiple packages in a single command. This streamlines the package management process and saves time.
Paci also offers various filtering options, allowing users to refine search results based on specific criteria, such as package name, description, maintainer, or file search. This makes it easier to find the desired packages quickly.
Furthermore, Paci provides an interactive mode, allowing users to navigate through the package lists more efficiently using command prompts. Users can also customize the output format of the package listing.
Paci is written in Python and is open source, allowing users to contribute, modify, or enhance the tool based on their needs. It is actively maintained and regularly updated to ensure compatibility and support with the latest Arch Linux releases.
For added convenience, Paci integrates with other Arch Linux package management tools, such as pacman and aurman, providing a seamless experience across different package managers.
Overall, Paci simplifies the process of package management in Arch Linux, offering a user-friendly and efficient tool for browsing, installing, updating, and removing packages from both the official repositories and AUR.
