# eat
[](https://github.com/Tyler887/eat/commits/main) [](https://github.com/Tyler887/eat/releases) [](https://github.com/Tyler887/eat/blob/main/LICENSE) [](https://github.com/psf/black)
Eat is the package manager for Linux. It:
* **Does not even require `sudo`!**
* Adds the programs to your PATH
* Does total web scraping to download files
* Makes sharing Linux programs easier
Here's how I would use Eat: `eatinst pwsh`
While Eat is specific to Debian and Ubuntu, Eat can be installed and ran on
almost any Linux distribution. Eat provides rootless install, so you don't
have to use the `root` user when you need to install software. And if you use
`sudo`, you can globally install programs to `/usr/bin` with the long complex command
`sudo python3 /home/$(whoami)/eat-install.py --system ` (pretty advanced).
## Install
Simple:
```bash
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EatInstall/EatInstaller/HEAD/eatinstaller.sh)"
```
Usally, `eat` only works in BASH shells. If you would like to edit your shell's own init script, run:
```bash
nano .rc
```
If you are a developer and want to install Eat (through the dev branch) in your GitHub Actions CI, add
this as the first step:
```yaml
- name: Install Eat
uses: EatInstall/[email protected]
```
### ⚙️ Eat as a Service (EaaS) [[more info](https://github.com/EatInstall/Eat/pkgs/container/eat)]
Running Eat on a container is *simple*:
```bash
docker pull ghcr.io/eatinstall/eat:dev
```
**Note: This method installls from the `dev` branch. It is highly recommended to do a proper install instead.**
### Legacy installer
The legacy installer can still be run on Debian, if you cannot run the new GUI version:
```bash
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EatInstall/Eat/HEAD/inst-script.sh)"
```
This script only works on Debian and it's derivatives. If you do not use any of the derivatives or
Debian itself, you must use [EatInstaller](#install).
## Upgrading
If your installation is out of date (which Eat normally tells you) or you have out-of-date sources,
you should upgrade both of them.
To upgrade Eat and the source manifests, the fastest way is to run `bash ~/Eat-PKG-Manager/update.sh`.
Using `git pull` also works, but your sources will need to be upgraded manually.
## New manifests
A manifest goes into the [network](https://github.com/Tyler887/eat-network), and not in this repo.
To add more manifests to eat, please contribute there.
The specification of an Eat package is:
```yaml
uri: # URI for package archive (.zip or .tar.gz). Eat will not install packages without this.
depends:
- # Array of dependencies. Eat will fail installation if one of these are not installed. Empty by default
should_install:
- # Array of suggested packages (e.g. "soft dependencies"). Empty by default
sudo_necessary: # Whether the app touches the system or not. "true" or "false" accepted only. Default is "false"
```
Yes, it's a YAML manifest.
A manifest must be named `.yaml`, not something like `.json` or `.yml`.
## Store
If you do not use a command-line for installing programs (other than eat itself), we offer [Eat Store][store]
for installing apps.
