    Pacman Reviews
    Pacman is a Linux utility that manages software packages. It uses compressed files as a package format and maintains a text-based database (more like a hierarchy) in case of any hand tweaking. Pacman doesn't try to do everything. It can add, remove, upgrade, and upgrade packages in the system. You can also query the package database to find files, owners, and installed packages. It can also download packages from remote servers and attempt to manage dependencies. Pacman 2.0 introduced the ability to sync packages with a master server (the -sync option) through the use package databases. Before this, packages had to be manually installed using the --add or - upgrade operations.
