How do I install CoreFreq on CachyOS?

Run this in a terminal:

sudo pacman -S corefreq-client

corefreq-client is in the cachyos repo, the CachyOS project's own package repository, so pacman installs it directly with no AUR helper and no build script. The package is signed with the CachyOS repository key, and pacman checks the signature before it installs.

Which way should you pick?

WayCommandPackage
CachyOS repo (cachyos) Recommended
sudo pacman -S corefreq-client
corefreq-client (CachyOS cachyos)
Git build
CoreFreq client.
sudo pacman -S corefreq-client-git
corefreq-client-git (CachyOS cachyos)

All of these are in the official cachyos repo. Pick one; builds of the same app usually conflict with each other.

What should I do after installing CoreFreq?

  1. Run corefreq-cli in a terminal.
  2. Run pacman -Qi corefreq-client to see the installed version and the optional dependencies.

How do I update or remove CoreFreq?
