To install the software, users are required to download and extract its content and then follow these two steps:
- Put the file "pacman.desktop" to $KDEDIR/share/apps/$APP/servicemenus/.
- Put the file "x-pacman.desktop" to $KDEDIR/share/mimelnk/application/.
It is worth noting that $KDEDIR represents the kde dir (can be "/usr", "/opt/kde", "$HOME/.kde", or a similar alternative), while $APP is the software application that supports service menu entries (such as "konqueror," "d3lphin," "dolphin," and more). In summary, Pacsermen is an easy-to-use software tool designed to make it easier for users to locate, install or upgrade packages in Arch Linux.
