If you are new to Linux, you should stick to your package manager. + +## 🆕 Paru 2.0: What's New? + +![][3] + +Paru 2.0 release is **an update that aims to bring some major changes** , and is mostly aimed at power users. + +This release comes more than a year after the last major release. The developer said that he didn't have enough spare time and there were many changes that needed to be done. + +The developer also added that: + +> As there's not been a release in so long, consider a lot of the things here not battle tested, with a .1 patch to follow. + +So, keeping that in mind, let's take a look at the **highlights of the Paru 2.0 release**. + +It is now **possible to integrate non-AUR PKGBUILDs into the build engine**. You can add other “pkgbuild” repositories to your paru.conf by using the following command: + +``` + + [repo_name] + Url = https://path/to/git/repo + +``` + +Then syncing up the repo with: + +``` + + paru -Sy --pkgbuilds + +``` + +Moreover, you can specify a path to point to a local pkgbuild repo. + +These repos have a **higher priority than AUR** , and also allow for the inclusion of AUR dependencies in them. + +Another neat feature is the new **automatic pkgbuild repo** named " . ", which is invisible in the paru.conf. + +This allows for executing a ' _paru -S ./foo_ ' command, where 'foo' is the name of a package under the current directory. + +What this results in is the ability to have a bunch of pkgbuilds in the same directory that depend on each other, and you can build any one of them using the aforementioned command. + +When you build them, **Paru will take care of solving and building the dependencies from the pkgbuilds in the directory itself**. + +### 🛠️ Other Changes and Improvements + +Other than the ones mentioned above, here are some other changes: + + * A fix for _no sudo_ when running _paru -Sc_. + * Dates now use the local time zone from your system. + * Provide searching has been improved, and it now enabled by default. + * Removed confirmation for pacman install after final paru confirmation is done. + * _\--chroot_ does not require local repos anymore, but it works better with those around. + + + +For a more in-depth look into this release, you may go through the [release notes][4]. + +## 📥 Get Paru 2.0 + +If you installed Paru from AUR, then you can upgrade to the 2.0 release from there. But, if you built it, you could try the _-U_ flag to update or build it again. + +If you are installing it for the first time, head over to its [GitHub repo][5] and follow the installation instructions. + +[Paru 2.0 (GitHub)][4] + +If you are eager to **know more about Paru** , or want to **learn how to install it**. I highly suggest you go through our article on [Paru AUR helper][6]: + +![][7] + +_💬 Arch users, are you hyped about this release of Paru?
