Note : Since 2026, the project has been moved to CodeBerg : https://codeberg.org/RaphaelRochet/arch-update

Warning for Gnome 42+

Default update command tries to run "gnome-terminal". You need to either install gnome-terminal or edit update command in advanced options to run Console. See wiki for examples.

Features

  • Uses pacman's «checkupdates» by default and thus does not need root access
  • Optional update count display on panel
  • Optional notification on new updates (defaults to off)
  • Launcher for your favorite update command
  • Comes in English, French, Czech, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Romanian, Arabic, Slovak, Chinese, Serbian, Swedish, Norwegian Bokmal, Russian, Persian, Turkish, Esperanto, Finnish, Dutch, Ukrainian, Korean, Occitan, hungarian languages. (Thanks translators !)

Requirements

If you use the default "checkupdates" way you will need to install "pacman-contrib".

AUR, Flatpak, ...

You can easily add support for AUR or another package manager, by editing check and updates commands. You will find many examples in the wiki : https://codeberg.org/RaphaelRochet/arch-update/wiki
