+- Browse available packages using `pacman`.
+- View detailed information about each package.
+- Install and uninstall packages.
+- Integrated terminal to show package management logs.
+- Future support for AUR with warning prompt.
+- Basic search functionality (WIP).
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- GTK 3
+- VTE Terminal
+- Arch Linux or any Arch-based distribution (for testing, feel free to use a vm, or request help on the same)
+- `pacman` and optionally `yay` for AUR support

+2. Install dependencies (for linux):
+    ```bash

+    sudo pacman -S gtk3 vte3 base-devel
