Pacman is the package manager for Arch Linux and its derivatives. It combines a simple binary package format with an easy-to-use build system, allowing the users to easily manage and customize their packages.

1. **Installing Packages**
   - ~$ sudo pacman -S package_name: This command installs a package. Replace `package_name` with the name of the package you want to install.

2. **Removing Packages**
   - ~$ sudo pacman -R package_name: This command removes a package, but leaves all of its configuration files on the system.
   - ~$ sudo pacman -Rn package_name: This command removes a package and its configuration files.
   - ~$ sudo pacman -Rns package_name: This command removes a package, its configuration files, and all of its unused dependencies.

3. **Updating the System**
   - ~$ sudo pacman -Sy: This command updates the package list.
   - ~$ sudo pacman -Su: This command upgrades all packages that are out of date.
   - ~$ sudo pacman -Syu: This command updates the package list and upgrades all out-of-date packages.

4. **Querying the Package Database**
   - ~$ sudo pacman -Q: This command lists all installed packages.
   - ~$ sudo pacman -Q package_name: This command checks if a package is installed.
   - ~$ sudo pacman -Qi package_name: This command displays detailed information about a package.
   - ~$ sudo pacman -Ql package_name: This command lists all files owned by a package.
   - ~$ sudo pacman -Qo /path/to/file: This command finds out which package owns a file.

5. **Cleaning the Package Cache**
   - ~$ sudo pacman -Scc: This command cleans the package cache completely.
   - ~$ sudo pacman -Sc: This command cleans all packages that are not currently installed.

6. **Searching for Packages**
   - ~$ sudo pacman -Ss keyword: This command searches for packages. Replace `keyword` with a keyword to search for.

7. **Handling Dependencies**
   - ~$ sudo pacman -S --asdeps package_name: This command installs a package as a dependency.
   - ~$ sudo pacman -D --asexplicit package_name: This command marks a package as explicitly installed.

Remember to replace `package_name` with the name of the package you want to manage. Also, note that you need to have root privileges to run these commands, so you might need to use `sudo`.

For a full list of options and commands, you can check the Pacman man page by running `man pacman` in the terminal.
