SYNOPSIS
pacman -U [OPTIONS] PACKAGE...
DESCRIPTION
pacman -U (upgrade) installs packages from local archive files rather than from remote repositories. This is useful for installing locally built packages, AUR packages, or downgrading to older package versions.
PARAMETERS
-U, --upgrade
Upgrade or install from package files-d, --nodeps
Skip dependency version checks-p, --print
Print what would be installed without installing--overwrite glob
Overwrite conflicting files matching the glob pattern--noconfirm
Skip confirmation prompts--asdeps
Mark packages as non-explicitly installed (dependencies)--asexplicit
Mark packages as explicitly installed
INSTALL
sudo apt install pacman-package-manager
sudo dnf install pacman
sudo pacman -S pacman
sudo apk add pacman
nix profile install nixpkgs#pacman
CAVEATS
Package files must be compatible with the system architecture. Dependencies are not automatically resolved from repositories when using -U. Using -d to skip dependency checks can break the system.
HISTORY
pacman is the package manager for Arch Linux and its derivatives.
