# Get pbcopy and pbpaste in Arch Linux

First you need the 'xsel' package.
```sh
pacman -S xsel
```
Then create aliases.
```sh
alias pbcopy='xsel --clipboard --input'
alias pbpaste='xsel --clipboard --output'
 ```   
### (Optional)
If you would like to make your aliases permanent, you need to add them to `~/.bashrc`

**For Bash:**
```sh
nano ~/.bashrc
```
and paste 
```
alias pbcopy='xsel --clipboard --input'
alias pbpaste='xsel --clipboard --output'
```  
**For ZSH:**
```sh
nano .zshrc
```
and paste 
```sh
alias pbcopy='xsel --clipboard --input'
alias pbpaste='xsel --clipboard --output'
```
