All version i guess? Not really sure but i use Manjaro Deepin and Gnome, both got Pamac.

It appears to me that Linus was using Manjaro KDE.

Pamac comes preinstalled on GTK based variants (Gnome, Budgie, Cinnamon, Xfce, etc).

 

On Qt based distros (KDE, LXQT, etc), Octopi comes preinstalled instead. Manjaro KDE was used in the Hackintosh VM video.

 

You can install both if you want by entering this in the terminal. (Depending on which you want to install)

 

sudo pacman -S pamac
sudo pacman -S octopi

 

When I try to install pamac it says

Looks like your Pacman database is messed up for some reason. Might be due to the install's default mirror being down. Try this.

 

sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 10 && sudo pacman -Syyu

 

This should automatically check the official mirrors, use the quickest 10 available (--fasttrack) and synchronize with the newest database (-Syyu).

 

Should work after this.

 

I've had that issue before. He should be fine after running "pacman -Syy". If he wants to update, he may add u to the end, like "pacman -Syyu".

Just jumping in to recommend you use yay instead:
 

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin.git

cd yay-bin

makpgk -sri

done! use it like pacman:

yay -S package

I'd just add "sudo su && cd /opt" at the beginning so as to not clutter up the home folder and ensure that he can install packages.

You can't run makepkg as root, it will prompt you for your password when necessary. I would just delete the folder when he's done with it if clutter is a concern, I always use a dedicated git folder for this sort of stuff anyway.

Oh, I didn't know that. OK then, just "cd /opt".
