# Basics to eopkg
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|

sudo eopkg install --reinstall gnome-documents gnome-music
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Uninstalling Software

```
|
|
|
|
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. |
