CachyOS - 2.0 Installing Creative Packages

Familiarize Yourself with Bash Installation

Linux distros include a Package Manager for installing, updating, and removing software. CachyOS uses pacman and Flatpak. To install, use sudo pacman -S [pkg-name].

Install Flatpak

Flatpak sandboxes apps for easier version management and better security.

sudo pacman -S flatpak

Install Common Packages

Bundle pacman Installs

You can install multiple packages by placing a space between each one: sudo pacman -S nodejs npm To remove, swap -S for -R -> sudo pacman -R npm

Lets say that I want to install an office suite, chrome, vscode, obsidian notes and a pdf viewer all in one go.

sudo pacman -S onlyoffice-bin chromium code obsidian okular

Enter your password and all packages download at once. See Common Package List for Linux Installs for other software I commonly install.
