Issue

Some main commands not found in MSYS2 after update-core.

Environment

  • Windows 8.1 64bit
  • msys2-x86_64-20150916

Detail

I introduced MSYS2 to my computer and performed update-core. However, after the update, when I type pacman or update-core, the terminal says bash: pacman: command not found. I rebooted MSYS2 and tried the same process but the result was the same. I re-installed MSYS2 and tried the same process but the result was the same. I'd like to get things right but don't know how.

Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks.

update-core is deprecated; its functionality is now handled by pacman; run pacman -Syuu.
