I accidentally removed my ls command from /usr/bin/ls . How can I replace it ?
Using arch, Linux kernel 5.14.3

What happens when you try to reinstall it via your package manager?

Welcome to LinuxQuestions.

FYI ls is usually part of the GNU Core Utilities package.

The package manager is called pacman.

michaelk is quite correct. The ls man page contains a link to the coreutils website.

I'm not conversant with pacman, but, if it offers the option, choosing to reinstall coreutils might be the way to go.
