How to Install Pamac GUI Package Manager in Arch Linux

Missing a software center in Arch Linux? You can install and use Manjaro’s Pamac package manager in Arch without much trouble.

• Installing from the AUR
• Installing from the Chaotic-AUR (Recommended as the developers of Garuda Linux sign packages)

Both are command line methods, but you are an Arch user, and I believe you can handle the command line a bit, can you not?

Method 1: Installing Pamac from the AUR

If you have an AUR helper like Yay installed already, getting Pamac is really easy.

Otherwise, you’ll have to go the challenging route.

First, update your system as Arch is a rolling release distribution and do not support partial upgrades. Enter the following command in the terminal to update your Arch Linux system.

Then you need to install all the packages of the base-devel package group and git by entering the command below.

sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel git

Now you need to build and install archlinux-appstream-data-pamac, libpamac-aur and pamac-aur respectively.

Enter the following commands replacing the package name with packages you want to install for all the 3 packages.

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/archlinux-appstream-data-pamac.git cd archlinux-appstream-data-pamac makepkg -si

In this case, the AUR package pamac-aur have other AUR packages as dependencies. So you have to build and install them before installing the main package. This hassle can be avoided by using an AUR helper.

Building and installing packages from AUR may fail due to outdated PKGBUILD and there are plenty of them in the AUR. Also, you need to manually update AUR packages if there is an update, as AUR packages don’t update when you update your system with Pacman.

In my opinion, you should use the next method. You don’t have to bother building and updating Pamac manually when there is an update.

Method 2: Installing Pamac from the Chaotic-AUR (Recommended)

Chaotic-AUR is a repository for Arch Linux maintained by the developers of Garuda Linux. Packages of this repo are signed and can be trusted. When you add this repo, you can install Pamac using Pacman directly.

Let’s add the repo by entering the following commands.

sudo pacman-key --recv-key FBA220DFC880C036 --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com sudo pacman-key --lsign-key FBA220DFC880C036 sudo pacman -U 'https://cdn-mirror.chaotic.cx/chaotic-aur/chaotic-keyring.pkg.tar.zst' 'https://cdn-mirror.chaotic.cx/chaotic-aur/chaotic-mirrorlist.pkg.tar.zst'

The above command just installs the keyring and mirrorlist for the repo. You also have to add the repo to the end of /etc/pacman.conf. Here I will use nano to edit the file.

The resulting file should look something like this.

. # An example of a custom package repository. See the pacman manpage for # tips on creating your own repositories. #[custom] #SigLevel = Optional TrustAll #Server = file:///home/custompkgs [chaotic-aur] Include = /etc/pacman.d/chaotic-mirrorlist

Now update your system using Pacman and install Pamac by the entering the following command.

Once installed, you can access the GUI from Application Menu and CLI using the pamac command.

In case you don’t like Pamac, you can remove it along with its dependencies and configuration files using pacman via the following command:

Conclusion

When I started using Arch Linux, I was also very skeptical about installing AUR packages as they took a long time to build and many times refused to build due to outdated PKGBUILD. I wish we had Chaotic-AUR earlier kudos to the Garuda Linux developers.

Note that there are other variants of Pamac available in the AUR which support Flatpak and Snaps. But in this tutorial, I have mentioned the variant with only Appstream and AUR support.

What’s your opinion on adding a 3rd party repos like Chaotic-AUR on Arch Linux? Which method would you use to install Pamac?

Pamac – Easily Install and Manage Software on Arch Linux

Arch Linux is one of the most popular Linux distribution available despite its apparent technicality. Its default package manager pacman is powerful but as time always tells, it is a lot easier to get certain things done using a mouse because GUI apps barely require any typing nor do they require you to remember any commands; and this is where Pamac comes in.

Pamac is a Gtk3 frontend for libalpm and it is the GUI tool that Arch Linux users turn to the most when they aren’t in the mood to manage their software packages via the terminal; and who can blame them? It was specifically created to be used with Pacman.

It enables users to search for and install applications on their computer with easy-to-follow steps. Users can also browse for new applications, check for updates, and uninstall unwanted packages. Would you like to try out Pamac? Read on.

Yaourt is a command line program which complete pacman for installing third party additional software in Arch Linux. If you have installed Arch Linux from scratch, Yaourt program won’t be installed by default. You need to install it manually as shown.

How to Install Yaourt in Arch Linux

To install Yaourt on Arch Linux, run the following commands.

$ sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel git wget yajl $ cd /tmp $ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/package-query.git $ cd package-query/ $ makepkg -si && cd /tmp/ $ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yaourt.git $ cd yaourt/ $ makepkg -si

Once Yaourt installed on your PC, you can use this command to install Pamac on your workstation as shown.

Launch Pamac when the installation is complete by either right-clicking on its icon in your system tray or selecting “Add/Remove Software” in your menu.

You will notice that Pamac’s UI is divided into 6 sections:

• Categories – list all available software applications into specific category.
• Groups – for installing packages from specific groups e.g. gnome, base, etc.
• Repositories – for installing packages from specific repositories e.g. Core, Community, etc.
• Installed – for viewing all installed apps including packages that are still downloading and orphaned packages.
• Updates – for viewing all available package updates..
• Pending – for viewing software pending updates.

Pamac gives users access to both official packages from Arch repositories and un-official packages from the community-driven AUR repo and if you want, you can enable AUR support on your PC by tweaking the preferences option from the menu.

Pacman has other frontend tools that work with it but Pamac has proven to be the most used. Have you had any experience with it, or maybe its alternatives? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.
