Linux editor featherPad

@otrott, I hope you’re enjoying your journey on EndeavourOS.

You can search packages with this command in terminal:

pacman -Ss <package_name>

For example:

[triby@eos ~]$: pacman -Ss featherpad
# Output for that command
community/featherpad 1.1.1-1
    Lightweight Qt plain text editor

With that output you know that the package exists on repositories and can be installed:

[triby@eos ~]$: sudo pacman -S featherpad

Other way is to use yay as @dalto suggested in his answer, but, wait a minute, you can also use pacseek for search, select and install packages.

Very important: Before installing software, please be sure your system is up to date by executing yay (no parameters).
