Package Management
There's loads of ways to install "packages" (software) onto a device running Linux. This, also depends on what Distribution you have chosen as it varies. However we have compiled a list of the most common package managers used by Linux Users.
pacman
Pacman is used on Arch Linux Based Distributions. It is pretty simple, however cannot install the entire AUR repo. You'd need an AUR helper for that (Such as yay, which is an AUR helper and pacman wrapper).
yay
See https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yay and/or https://github.com/Jguer/yay for more information.
Installation is pretty simple:
sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin.git && cd yay-bin && makepkg -si
This is an all-in-one command.
