After the Installation

Getting Started after the Installation Once you get your Manjaro-Arm installed and booted, there are a few things that you may want to do to make it more tailored to your needs. Below is a list of a few common things that you can change or configure

Overview

This section will discuss some of the common configurations that you may want to set up for using your device.

General or all editions

Using the Package Manager (CLI)

Using pacman can be a truly wonderful experience. Its simplicity is one of a kind and the power of it can be addicting for people who are not used to it. To perform a full system update

# pacman -Syyu

To install a single package

# pacman -S <packagename>

To install a group of packages

# pacman -S <package 1> <package 2> <package 3>

To search for package

# pacman -Ss <search string>

To see installed packages

# pacman -Q
or
# pacman -Q | grep <packagename>

To remove packages

# pacman -R <packagename>

There is plenty more that pacman can do however there are very good articles on that located here and here

Changing Password(s)

To change either password Root or your User (manjaro by default) simply run the passwd command as that user: As user manjaro

$ passwd

Put in the current password (manjaro is default password) press return and put in the new password. You will need to put it in twice to confirm

As Root

$ su
# passwd

And then do the same procedure as above.
