That was excessive, Ralf. Arch may be a DIY distro, but that doesn't mean
we should humiliate and belittle people who don't already know everything
about the system.
Tim: I'm sorry you got that response. A "group" in pacman is an alias for a
bunch of packages, you install it just as if the group was an ordinary
package.

I read a Arch Linux wiki page says one can "install a group":
"Install the xfce4 group."
how can I do that?
Actually I shouldn't have replied to your request and instead ban your email address.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/pacman#Installing_package_groups
You already were reading the Wiki and needed to ask this question, while your chosen distro is Arch Linux, not Ubuntu?
More information about handling groups could be found by
$ man pacman | grep group
