How to use bauh package manager

A first overview of the surface and use of bauh.

At the start, the data of the installed packages are first loaded and then displayed.



By deactivating the Apps switch, all other packages are also displayed.



With the Type button you can choose between Reborn/Arch repository or the AUR repository to install programmes.



With the category button you can select different categories.



The Refresh button takes you back to the beginning.



With the light bulb additional options for applications are displayed



With the colour palette you can select a theme



Use the gearwheel switch to enter configuration



In the configuration you can make an enormous number of settings - here the Types module as an example.
Here you can decide what kind of repositories you want to include, only Arch or also Flatpak or AppImage.



The nice thing about bauh is that every button, except in the backup module, has an auxiliary button that displays a short description.



In the hamburger menu there are several more important actions





The AppImage button installs AppImage.

Synchronize package databases to update the package database and upgrade the system.

This is followed by the query whether the sources should be updated, which is equivalent to pacman -Syy



After clicking on yes, you will be redirected to the password query.



If the database is up to date, the possible updates are displayed.



After pressing the upgrade button, the upgrade process is started.



If you are using btrfs or zfs you can create a snapshot so that after an error you can revert to the state before the update.



After the packages have been loaded and installed, you will be asked if you want to restart the system.





Restore resets all settings of bauh to the default values and cleans the cache of bauh.
