Default terminal command for AUR mainenance

[HansD]

Somehow pamac is able to install from AUR.
Is it possible, to do this from terminal without installing yaourt/yay etc?

[Lolix]

it is the pamac build command, while for repo package is pamac install

[HansD]

Ty. Can I check for AUR updates from terminal with pamac? Like “-Syu”

While this is true, I’ve found that pamac install searches the AUR if there as nothing found in the repositories.

Edit:

From the help:

$  pamac checkupdates -h
Safely check for updates without modifiying the databases
(Exit code is 100 if updates are available)

pamac checkupdates [options]

options:
--builddir <dir> : build directory (use with --devel), if no directory is given the one specified in pamac.conf file is used
--aur, -a        : also check updates in AUR
--no-aur         : do not check updates in AUR
--quiet, -q      : only print one line per update
--devel          : also check development packages updates (use with --aur)
--no-devel       : do not check development packages updates

pamac upgrade -a

updates all packages from repo and AUR.

man pamac is a good place for information

[papajoke]

run pamac -h or pamac "command" -h for detail (as pamac build -h)
we have also man pamac

I don’t use pamac so can’t reply further

Unlikely, except you enable AUR in “Add/Remove Software” aka pamac in GUI.

$ pamac install viber
Error: target not found: viber

$ pamac build viber

Aah, yes. That would explain it, thanks!
