Pacman error

[theleapingfrog]

Hello,

I am trying to use: pacman -s python for example but it returns

pacman -s python
error: invalid option '-s'

I have also tried the --search but that gave the same result.

Thanks,

frog

It is an uppercase S for “Sync” operations

sudo pacman -S

If you want to search, you use pacman -Ss

BTW…you almost definitely have python installed already.

Assuming that you want to install python, it should be pacman -S python. If you want to search for python then it’s pacman -Ss python.

I find this pacman/Rosetta a useful resource.
