The PKG.TAR.XZ file contains a software package. It is stored in a TAR archive compressed using XZ. Compression allows easier distribution. The PKG file has software installed in Arch Linux. Arch Linux uses Pacman package manager for installation, upgrade, configuration and removal of software. Pacman has tools like makepkg, pactree, checkupdates, and vercmp. Makepkg utility creates PKG.TAR.XZ files by compiling installation files. Arch Linux was first released in 2002 for computers with i686 and x86-64 architectures.
