# apk-tools

Alpine Package Keeper (apk) is a package manager originally built for Alpine Linux,

but now used by several other distributions as well.

## Building

The preferred build system for building apk-tools is Meson:

```

# meson setup -Dprefix=/ build

# ninja -C build

# meson install -C build

```

For bootstrapping without Python, muon is also compatible. All you have to do is replace `meson` with `muon` in the above example.

To build a static apk, pass the right arguments to the above commands:

```

# meson setup -Dc_link_args="-static" -Dprefer_static=true -Ddefault_library=static build

# ninja -C build src/apk

```

Which will give you a `./build/src/apk` that is statically linked.

While there is a legacy Makefile-based system available, it only works for musl-linux

targets, and will be dropped in the apk-tools 3.0 release.

## Documentation

Online documentation is available in the [doc/](doc/) directory in the form of man pages.

The [apk(8)](doc/apk.8.scd) man page provides a basic overview of the package management

system.
