How to add new software [SOLVED]

I installed Artix Cinnamon dinit today, and in the menu (Super key) I was looking for a category Add/Remove software or something like that but have not been able to find it. What am I doing wrong?

Running pacman in terminal is the intended way for managing packages

that command allows you to install/update/remove the packages
there is a graphical version of it if you prefer :)
(or maybe it's already installed ? i dont remember :p try to look for "discover" in the menu)

if no, here are the 2 commands you'll need :
1/ to update your system: sudo pacman -Syu

2/ to install the graphical interface: sudo pacman -S discover packagekit-qt5

Now, in the menu, you will have the "discover" app, allowing you to install/update/remove easily packages.
