# Void Linux Package Management with XBPS
Void Linux utilizes the X Binary Package System (XBPS) for package management. XBPS is designed to be simple, efficient, and reliable. Here's a quick guide to get you started:
## Install New Package
To install a package, use the following command:
```bash
sudo xbps-install -S <package-name>
sudo xbps-install -S bat
```
Replace `<package-name>` with the name of the package you want to install.
## Install New Package From Local
```bash
sudo xbps-install -S --repository <package-path> <package-full-name>
sudo xbps-install -S --repository host/binpkgs hyprland-0.35.0_1
```
Replace `<package-path>` with the directory of package and Replace `<package-full-name>` with the name of the package you want to install
## Updating Package Database
Before installing or updating packages, it's advisable to refresh the package database:
```bash
sudo xbps-install -Su
```
This command synchronizes the local package database with the remote repositories, ensuring you have the latest package information.
## Upgrading Installed Packages
To upgrade all installed packages to their latest versions, use:
```bash
sudo xbps-install -u
```
This command updates all installed packages to their latest available versions.
## Searching for Packages
To search for a package, you can use:
```bash
xbps-query -Rs <search-term>
```
Replace `<search-term>` with the name or keyword related to the package you're looking for.
## Removing Packages
To remove a package, use:
```bash
sudo xbps-remove -R <package-name>
```
Replace `<package-name>` with the name of the package you want to remove.
## Cleaning Package Cache
To clean the package cache and free up disk space, use:
```bash
sudo xbps-remove -O
```
This command removes old package files from the cache.
## Conclusion
XBPS provides a straightforward and efficient package management system for Void Linux. These basic commands should help you get started with installing, updating, and managing packages on your Void Linux system.
