aura Command Examples

by admin

The Aura Package Manager is a secure, multilingual package manager for Arch Linux and the AUR. The AUR is a community-driven repository of Arch Linux packages that are not included in the official Arch Linux repositories. Aura is a command line tool that can be used to search, install, and manage packages from the AUR.

use the aura command to search for packages in the AUR, install packages, and manage your local AUR packages. For example, to search for a package named “foo”, you can use the following command:

# aura -Ss foo

To install a package from the AUR, use the -A option followed by the package name. For example, to install the package “bar” from the AUR, you can use the following command:

# aura -A bar

For more information about using Aura and a complete list of options and commands, you can refer to the Aura documentation or the Aura man page:

# man aura
