No apt, apt-get, wget packages [SOLVED]

I downloaded arch recently but I cannot download anything because I have no packages. How to fix it? I have git installed

[pamquale@Archie ~]$ sudo apt
[sudo] password for pamquale: 
sudo: apt: command not found
[pamquale@Archie ~]$ sudo apt-get
sudo: apt-get: command not found
[pamquale@Archie ~]$ sudo wget
sudo: wget: command not found
[pamquale@Archie ~]$

Arch does not use apt, it uses pacman. For reference, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman

However, you should™ know that already since you should™ have used pacman during the installation process. Is this really pure arch or some spin with a graphical installer or something?

It's grub arch. I just wanted to execute the 'unzip' command. And dived too deep. Thanks for your answer. I will try to find another way how to install the 'unzip' package

Re: No apt, apt-get, wget packages [SOLVED]

sudo pacman -S unzip

However, I have no clue what a "grub arch" may be, and google fails me. From your prompt it doesn't look like you're running off the live iso/usb. Going further, I'd heartily recommend you write down somewhere the basics about your system, since the question is going to come up again if you encounter different issues:

- which install medium did you use?
- where did you get the install medium?
- how did you install Arch? Did you run https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archinstall or did you follow the install guide (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide)?

Hi pamsquale,
since you fixed it, probably just by start using the proper package manager, could you please mark this thread by prepending [SOLVED] to the title?
