Install/Uninstall Software(package manager)
CatOS uses pacman as the system's software package manager. Pacman is a powerful and easy-to-use software management tool that allows you to easily search, install, and uninstall software with a few simple commands.
You don’t need to worry about software dependencies, pacman will automatically handle them for you
Search software
You can search for software with the following command:
sudo pacman -Ss pkg_name
As shown below, use "neofetch" as the keyword search software
If you do not find the software you want, you can change the keywords or use tools such as AUR
Install software
You can install the software with the following command:
sudo pacman -S pkg_name
As shown below, the software named "neofetch" will be installed
Uninstall software
To uninstall just the software:
sudo pacman -R pkg_name

This command only uninstalls the specified package and does not delete other packages that depend on this package. To uninstall all packages that depend on this package at the same time (excluding packages referenced by other packages), you can use the following command
sudo pacman -Rs pkg_name
Query software
If you want to query all packages installed on the system, you can use the following command
sudo pacman -Qs
To query whether a specific package is installed on your system:
sudo pacman -Qs pkg_name
