Install Pacman On Ubuntu, Mint And Other Debian Based Linux

By Anonymous -

Hello Linux user, this article will guide you through to the installation of Pacman, default package manager of Arch Linux, on your favorite Debian based Linux distro.

Pacman is one of the most efficient/fast and top-rated package managers out there. You can learn more about it by performing a simple Google search. But we won't be doing so here. We will just learn to install and use it in the simple steps below.

As you know Pacman is not native to Debian based distros, Pacman will only be a frontend for the APT package manager on our Debian based distro.

Install Pacman On Ubuntu, Mint And Other Debian Based Linux

I am using Debian 10 here. We will install a package named Deb Pacman which is not available through official repositories.

First of all, go to the below link and get the link or download the latest build of Deb Pacman. As of now, the version is 1.0.
Deb Pacman GitLab
After that run the below commands one by one.
wget https://gitlab.com/TriVoxel/deb-pacman/uploads/9f716f95c66cd90e65157773d6dea05b/deb-pacman_1.0-0.deb
sudo apt install ./deb-pacman_1.0-0.deb
If you get a newer version form GitLab, make sure you change the file name on the second command also.




Now that we have installed Pacman on our system successfully let's see how to use our new package manager.

Heres a video guide,

To check the version simply enter,

To install a package, 
pacman -S package_name
Likewise to remove a package

For autoremove like option in APT,

Q: [Beth Rigby from Sky] When people are struggling with the cost of living, you are talking about constitutional issues. This might look to people as if you are out of touch. Are you talking to Westminster about stuff that won’t happen. What in this will improve people’s lives from day one of a Labour government? When you come to the next election, it may be that the Scottish National party will have a one-line manifesto and want a one-issue general election. But we have done a huge amount of research on Scottish public opinion and people want a better health service immediately, people want living standards improved immediately, people want jobs for young people immediately, people want better housing immediately and people of course want change in the way that we are suggesting immediately. People up and down this country are cryin...
