Octopi is capable of handling system updates & the installation of individual packages from both the official repositories & from the [[Arch_User_Repository|AUR]]. It can search for files using its search field, & be told whether to use the official repos or AUR or both. Note that in order to use the AUR, you first need to [[Arch_User_Repository#Accessing_the_AUR|install yaourt]], then Octopi will include the green alien head. Click on it, enter your search term, and hit enter to search the AUR. | Octopi is capable of handling system updates & the installation of individual packages from both the official repositories & from the [[Arch_User_Repository|AUR]].
