# Basics to Package Management Solus uses the eopkg package management system to deliver software to the end-user. Below are some basic commands for using eopkg. ## Installing Software You can install one or more packages by using: ``` bash sudo eopkg install packagename ``` For example: ``` bash sudo eopkg install gnome-documents gnome-music ``` ## Reinstalling Software You can reinstall one or more packages by using: ``` bash sudo eopkg install --reinstall packagename ``` For example: ``` bash sudo eopkg install --reinstall gnome-documents gnome-music ``` ## Uninstalling Software You can uninstall one or more packages by using: ``` sudo eopkg remove packagename ``` For example: ``` bash sudo eopkg remove gnome-documents gnome-music ``` ### Get Information on Software You can get information on software, such as its description, version, installation size, and more, by using ``` bash sudo eopkg info packagename ``` For example: ``` bash sudo eopkg info gnome-documents ``` ## Updating You can update your system by using: ``` bash sudo eopkg upgrade ``` If you want to **only** update a specific piece of software on your system, you can specify is like below: ``` bash sudo eopkg upgrade firefox ``` ## Searching You can search the software selection Solus provides by using: ``` bash sudo eopkg search term ``` For example: ``` bash sudo eopkg search documents ``` Notice that you don't need to search for a specific software name, although you can do that. We search summaries and software names by default.
