Okay so I just finished struggling through my archlinux install. I have arch Linux with hyprland now.

But I cannot figure out how to download anything.

At minimum i need a browser, and git. But I cannot figure out web downloads in kitty.

Edit: nmtui to connect to WiFi, and then a reboot solved it.

    sudo pacman -S

    is virtually the only command I used as a beginner.

    But that said, you may install from the AUR using yay.

    I found out previously just use yay. Don’t do sudo yay. It’s not necessary and not 100% of AUR packages are guaranteed to be clean: omitting sudo will keep them out of root.

    You may use pacman to install packages in your Arch

    To install packages you need to use pacman -S <pkgname>. For example to install Firefox:

    pacman -S firefox

    You can also install many packages once, for example:

    pacman -S firefox git ruby keepassxc

    Remember that you need root privileges to install apps with pacman

    Does internet work? You can check by running “ping archlinux.org” in a terminal, (Ctrl C to stop it). If you are connected to internet you could search for packages using the “pacman -Ss <e. g. chromium>”, and or install by using “sudo pacman -S <name>”
