From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In Manjaro you just run this command, there's a GU package manager as well, but I've never used it. Pamac takes care of downloading / building any required dependencies and the AUR repo includes any required patches for the application run well on Arch / Manjaro.
pamac build
I haven't used Arch in years, but I believe it was something similar.
The whole system is pretty similar to, (but more refined than) FreeBSDs Ports tree.
but can you search the AUR from the CLI or or do you still need to git clone then pacmac build with the package buildID?
