Just installed Arch Linux on my Pine64+2GB board and want to try installing additional applications and libraries but can't find dpkg, apt-get, or synaptic. How does one install new packages?
Thanks Leoncito81 for the pointer. I've been using Kubuntu for years so was not familiar with other Linux variants.
I believe they have ported Ubuntu or Debian. Either of these would have a similar feel and command line to Lubuntu.
Cmon, a simple google search would give you the answer.
But anyway, it's pacman
@ Nomad, is that necessary?
Arch is a really cool system for learning how linux works as a whole. It's actually how I got into linux in the first place last year. There's a pretty big community around archlinuxarm, lots of guides and tutorials. It turns your linux os into a model-building kit.
I gave the answer but also called on something that seems pretty trivial to me.
If one knows how to post a thread in a forum, one should know that entering "Arch linux package manager" would also work and be faster.
Seriously, i'm here to help. But i also think that pointing out the basics helps.
Give a man a fish and he will eat one day. Teach a man how to fish, and he will never be hungry again.
I think i did both
Just because RTFM is useful advice doesn't make it good advice. I think it was a little rude. I kind of think you should apologize.
the phrase "teach a man to fish" implies you actually taught something. Leoncito81 was actually helpful, you are not.
