The user manual for Omarchy doesn't describe how to use the AUR installer too well. When I look up a package on the AUR installer, it'll come up with a lot of files, which LOOKs like I'm meant to install all of them. Should I be installing all of them? Or should I be looking for an individual packet. Likewise, I go the the AUR page and it's confusing cause it talks about dependencies, Required by, and sources.

I understand this would be very basic for all of you. A lot of the videos I see talk about how to download a packet from AUR through the terminal, but it looks like it's usually just the one file. I tried downloading DOSBox X last night and it took forever to install cause I thought I needed to install... 5 different files? But I wonder if they were all different packages of the same program complied by different people. If people have videos or could explain it to me as a new user I'd appreciate it.

Background- I've recently changed from Windows, but I grew up on DOS, and know a little bit of coding. I've used Bash a little through Mint, so I'm keen to learn more.

I should also note that DOSBox X doesn't show up in my installed apps list, and it had a bunch of errors when I installed it at the end so I may not have selected enough files too.

Omarchy is built on Arch, the Arch wiki is a massive source of information. I recommend looking at that if there is stuff you feel is missing from the Omarchy manual.
