Re: help with pacman

You should really read "man pacman"

pacman requires an operation (capital letter) to do anything.  The most common operation is "-S" for sync.  -Q is query (for local) and -R is remove.

After that lower case letters perform things on that operation.  -Sy will sync and refresh your db.  -Ss will sync and search.  -Ql will query local info and list files.

Check out the man page for more
