+
+There are **two main ways** to install software on CachyOS: using Arch Repositories or Flatpak.

+    - [Alternatively, you can install Flatpak packages using the terminal](#alternatively-you-can-install-flatpak-packages-using-the-terminal)
+
+## What should I use?
+
+Usually, it's best to use [**Arch Repositories**](#arch-repositories) for most software, as they are more integrated with the system and generally perform better.
+
+However, if you need a specific version of software that is not available in the [**Arch Repositories**](#arch-repositories), **or** if you want to try out new software without affecting your system, you can use [**Flatpak**](#flatpak).
+
+## Arch Repositories
+
+Arch Software installs packages **integrated** with the system.
+
+- These packages are usually more **lightweight** than Flatpak versions.
+- They **integrate better** with the system theme and file manager.
+- They start up faster and use less disk space.
+
+### Installing packages
+
+1. Find the package you want to install on by googling `<PACKAGE_NAME> arch repository` or searching on [archlinux.org/packages](https://archlinux.org/packages/) or [aur.archlinux.org](https://aur.archlinux.org/).
+2. Open Terminal/Console.
+3. Install the package using `pacman` or `paru` (for AUR packages).
+   - If the package is on `https://archlinux.org/packages/`, use `pacman`.
+   - If the package is on `https://aur.archlinux.org/`, use `paru`.
+
+```bash
+sudo pacman -S package_name
+```
+
+or
+
+```bash
+paru -S package_name
+```
+
+### Examples
+
+**Discord** is available on AUR, so you would install it using `paru`:
+
+> <https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/discord/>
+
+```bash
+paru -S discord
+```
+
+**VLC** is available on the official Arch repositories, so you would install it using `pacman`:
+
+> <https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/vlc/>
+
+```bash
+sudo pacman -S vlc
+```
+
+## Flatpak
+
+Flatpak Software installs packages in a **sandboxed** environment.
+
+- They are more **secure** as they are isolated from the system.
+- They can be **easily uninstalled** without affecting the host system.
+- They may not integrate well with the system theme and file manager.
+- They may start up slower and use more disk space.
+
+1. Open Software Center.
+2. Search for the application you want to install.
+3. Click on the application and then click "Install".
+
+### Alternatively, you can install Flatpak packages using the terminal
+
+```bash
+flatpak install package_name
+```
