### Examples

• Refresh master package list: yay.refresh()

• Install a package: yay.install(“php”)

• Remove a package: yay.remove(“php”, purge=True)

• Upgrade all packages: yay.upgrade()

• List all installed packages: yay.get_installed() (returns dict of id, version, upgradable status)

• List all available packages: yay.get_available() (returns dict of id, version, repo name)

• Get info for a package: yay.get_info(“php”) (returns dict, info labels as keys)

All functions that allow a package name as parameter (except get_info) will accept either a single package name or a list of multiple names.
