- Install openssh: pacman -Sy openssh where "-S" is the same as "--sync", synchronize packages.
- How to Update Arch Linux
- The command pacman -Sy synchronizes the package list with the master server. This server/client model also allows the user to download/install packages with a simple command, complete with all required dependencies1. However, it is important to note that when installing packages in Arch, you should avoid refreshing the package list without upgrading the system (for example, when a package is no longer found in the official repositories). In practice, do not run pacman -Sy package_name instead of pacman -Syu package_name, as this could lead to dependency issues. See pacman.
yay
- yay is an AUR helper that depends on pacman. It uses pacman to manage and resolve dependencies for packages installed from the AUR. yay also uses the pacman configuration file (/etc/pacman.conf) and shares the local package database with pacman.
