Seems to be part of the Arch repository: https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/jc/ https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/jc/ Why does this site recommend using "paru", "aura" or "yay" to install it on Arch? I have been using Arch for a decade or so but have never even heard of such tools. They don't even have pages in the Arch wiki, and only yay ("Pacman wrapper and AUR helper written in go") is available via the standard repository. Begs the question: what is so wrong with plain pacman? EDIT: Okay so seems they were previously on AUR and once accepted to community repository they just forgot to stop recommending an AUR wrapper for installing: https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc/commit/f2dd7b8815edc92e0b7c06367b2de11616938980 https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc/commit/f2dd7b8815edc92e... EDIT2: Created a PR with the GitHub.dev editor .. Absolutely blown away by how easy it was! Feels like the future of development.. https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc/pull/310 https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc/pull/310

It's a program to wrap stable CLI programs, makes sense that they recommend a wrapper around a stable program like pacman

  Is this a snarky comment implying that the CLI programs and pacman are better left unwrapped?

Looking at github, it was only moved from AUR in May this year, but the commit only changed the description, not the commands. But this is 100% going in my toolbox - I can think of a couple of scripts that I can update to use this right of the bat!
