pacget -- A wrapper around pacaur to mimic yaourt's search feature.
pacget [operation] [options] [target(s)]
pacget [packages_to_install]
All arguments are forwarded to pacaur excluding some special ones which are processed separately to provide some extended functionalities over pacaur.
pacget works the same way as pacaur and consequently pacman. All basic operations are processed with pacaur which wraps around pacman and thus you can use the same knowledge of pacman and pacaur.
pacget extends some operations provided by pacaur, such as the search functionality. pacget's -s operation searches both the official repo and AUR for the given search term and allows installing packages interactively (kinda like yaourt).
It depends on the following packages:
- pacaur
Run the install.sh script:
# download the installer
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/neurobin/pacget/release/install.sh
chmod +x install.sh # Give execute permission
./install.sh # Run the installerIt can be used the same way as pacaur (consequently pacman). The only difference is that some options come with extra facilities.
Examples:
# Upgrade
pacget -Syu
# The following installs the package linux-lts
pacget -S linux-lts
# The following is a short form to pacget -S linux-lts
pacget linux-lts
# The following will search only arch official repo
# and give you option to select packages to install
pacget -r -s gimp
# The following will search only arch user repo aur
# and give you option to select packages to install
pacget -a -s gimp
# The following will search for gimp in both official repo and AUR
# and give you option to select packages to install
pacget -s gimp
