Okay so I just finished struggling through my archlinux install. I have arch Linux with hyprland now.

But I cannot figure out how to download anything.

At minimum i need a browser, and git. But I cannot figure out web downloads in kitty.

Edit: nmtui to connect to WiFi, and then a reboot solved it.

You may use pacman to install packages in your Arch

To install packages you need to use pacman -S <pkgname>. For example to install Firefox:

pacman -S firefox

You can also install many packages once, for example:

pacman -S firefox git ruby keepassxc

Remember that you need root privileges to install apps with pacman

How do I have root privileges? Do I just use sudo?

using

sudo pacman -S <filename>
