# Pacman
Provides aliases and functions for the [Pacman][1] package manager and
frontends.
## Settings
It is possible to use a Pacman frontend with the pacman aliases provided by this
package as long as that frontend supports the same command line options (The
[AUR Helpers][2] page has a good comparison which lists if the command line
options are pacman compatible).
Please note that installing packages with an AUR Helper is not officially
supported by Archlinux. It is currently recommended to manually build AUR
packages using the [provided instructions][3]. The [aurutils][4] project has a
set of small utilities to make this easier.
To enable a Pacman frontend, add the following line to *~/.zpreztorc*,
substituting *pacman_frontend* with the name of the frontend:
```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:pacman' frontend 'pacman_frontend'
```
