pamac is a graphical and command-line package manager for Arch-based distributions, primarily Manjaro. It provides a user-friendly interface to pacman and supports AUR (Arch User Repository) integration.
The tool combines package installation, removal, searching, and system updates in a unified interface. AUR support must be enabled in /etc/pamac.conf or through the GUI settings.

AUR packages require enabling in configuration. Some operations require root privileges. Build dependencies for AUR packages may need manual handling. Updates may require system restart.

pamac was developed by the Manjaro team as an alternative to pacman with better user experience. It provides both GTK and CLI interfaces, making package management accessible to users unfamiliar with command-line tools.
