== Summary ==
As can be seen from the above, Octopi has many easily used features for those that prefer not to use the command line tools '''pacman''' & '''yaourt'''. The Octopi menu & the right mouse button menu are both simple, straight forward & easily understood, which makes the use of Octopi for those new to it very easy to learn.
