Use PACMAN as a Package Manager on MOST Linux Distros

You can download the stable script and make it executable. On non-Arch-based system, you may use pacman as script name instead of pacapt.

$ sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/pacapt https://github.com/icy/pacapt/raw/ng/pacapt
$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/pacapt
$ sudo ln -sv /usr/local/bin/pacapt /usr/local/bin/pacman || true

For system package manager:

• Update package database: pacapt -Sy, or pacapt update
• Install a package: pacapt -S foo, or pacapt install foo
• Search a package: pacapt -Ss foo, or pacapt search foo
• Remove a package: pacapt -R foo, or pacapt remove foo
• Upgrade system: pacapt -Su, or pacapt upgrade
• Remove orphans: pacapt -Sc, or pacapt autoremove foo
• Clean up: pacapt -Scc or pacapt -Sccc, or pacapt clean
