[SOLVED]How do I install downloaded packages?

---

Hi,
I’m new of Antergos!

Is there a beginners’ guide available somewhere?
I would actually like to know if there’s a way of installing downloaded packages. Ok, I know that you can download&install packages via pacman, but if I download a package (for instance on my Desktop) how can I install it?
Is there any instruction as “dpkg -i” in Debian?

Thanks
MatteP

$ sudo pacman -U [path-to-package]

For example:

$ sudo pacman -U /home/UserName/Downloads/MyPackage.pkg.tar.xz

Yes. See the example above.
