Get Information on Software
You can get information on software, such as its description, version, installation size, and more, by using
sudo eopkg info packagename
For example:

Updating
You can update your system by using:
sudo eopkg upgrade
If you want to only update a specific piece of software on your system, you can specify is like below:

Searching
You can search the software selection Solus provides by using:
sudo eopkg search term

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.
