Wow. Sounds like you have a whole operation going over there!

Sounds like fun. Can't wait to see the videos!

usage: pacman <operation> [...]
operations:
pacman {-h --help}
pacman {-V --version}
pacman {-D --database} <options> <package(s)>
pacman {-F --files} [options] [file(s)]
pacman {-Q --query} [options] [package(s)]
pacman {-R --remove} [options] <package(s)>
pacman {-S --sync} [options] [package(s)]
pacman {-T --deptest} [options] [package(s)]
pacman {-U --upgrade} [options] <file(s)>
use 'pacman {-h --help}' with an operation for available options
It syncs the repository first, before installing the package. Then there's more options you can use with -S, for example "-Syu" to update your system:
-u, --sysupgrade upgrade installed packages (-uu enables downgrades)
-y, --refresh download fresh package databases from the server
(-yy to force a refresh even if up to date)

I usually don't have an issue with most when testing out new stuff, just have to read up on what you're trying to use and do. I just tend to stick with what I'm used to and like, though, and Arch has been just that for well over a decade now.
