pacapt
- An Arch
's pacman-like package manager for some Unices
.
An Arch
's pacman-like package manager for some Unices
.
Actually this Bash
script provides a wrapper for system's package manager.
For example, on CentOS
machines, you can install htop
with command
$ pacapt -S htop
Instead of remembering various options/tools on different OS
s, you only
need a common way to manipulate packages. Not all options of the native
package manager are ported; the tool only provides a very basic interface
to search, install, remove packages, and/or update the system.
Arch
's pacman is chosen, as pacman is quite smart when it divides all
packages-related operations into three major groups:
Synchronize
, Query
and Remove/Clean up
.
It has a clean man page, and it is the only tool needed to manipulate
official packages on system.
(Debian
, for example, requires you to use apt-get
, dpkg
, and/or aptitude
.)
The tool supports the following package managers:
pacman

,ArchBang
,Manjaro
, etc.dpkg/apt-get
byDebian
,Ubuntu
, etc.homebrew
byMac OS X
macports

- This script shouldn't be installed on an Arch-based system;
- On
FreeBSD
andAlpine Linux
, please installbash
package first.
You can download the stable script and make it executable
$ sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/pacapt \
https://github.com/icy/pacapt/raw/ng/pacapt
$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/pacapt
$ sudo ln -sv /usr/local/bin/pacapt /usr/local/bin/pacman || true
On some system, /usr/local/bin
is not in the search paths when the
command is executed by sudo
. You may want to use /usr/bin/pacman
or /usr/bin/pacapt
instead.
This stable script is generated from the latest stable branch,
which is v2.0
at the moment. If you want to compile a script
from its components, please make sure you use a correct branch.
See CONTRIBUTING.md
for details.
@Pival81 creates specification to build packages on various Linux
distributions (CentOS, Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, RHEL, Ubuntu).
The specification can be found under the contrib/
directory.
@Pival81 also builds packages which are ready to use on your machine. See the following link for details.

Some basic command line options
-h

$ cd pacapt
# switch to development branch
$ git checkout ng
# compile the script
$ ./bin/compile.sh > pacapt.dev
# check if syntax is good
$ bash -n pacapt.dev
$ sudo install -m755 ./pacapt.dev /usr/local/bin/pacapt
