# shpkg

Simple package manager written in bash inspired by makepkg

`shpkg` lets you install packages with the use of build scripts

# Supported now

currently, the following distributions supported are:

* Debian and it's derivatives

* Arch Linux

* NixOS

* Redhat based distros (with `dnf` package manager like fedora)

* Alpine

* Android (Termux)

# Dependencies for shpkg

Current requirements for shpkg are

* bash 4.0+

* curl

* less

* sudo (not required for termux)

Optional dependencies for shpkg

* unzip (for dealing with zip tarballs)

# Installation

once you have dependencies installed [download](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shpkg/shpkg/master/shpkg) the `shpkg` script, you can install it by simply placing it into `/usr/local/bin` or `$PREFIX/bin` (for termux)

# Package Installation

Before installing packages with `shpkg`, make sure you have build scripts placed in:

```

$HOME/.shpkg

```

Inside that directory where `shpkg` gathers package build script information

You can try adding sample build scripts by fetching [shpkg/ports](https://github.com/shpkg/ports) repository

```

git clone https://github.com/shpkg/ports $HOME/.shpkg

```

For package installation, you can do

```

shpkg install 

```

*NOTE: running `shpkg` under `sudo` isn't necessary, `shpkg` will use sudo automatically*

before installing packages, you can list the packages you added by doing

```

shpkg list

```

# Package Uninstallation

You can simply uninstall package by doing

```

shpkg uninstall 

```

Depending on a package's build script, sometimes there's no `remove()` function and you won't be able to uninstall it properly, so be aware of that

# Querying package Information

You can look at the package's build script before installing so you will have the opportunity to look at them first before installing, you can do

```

shpkg query 

```

*It opens `less` as a default viewing of `shpkg` build scripts, if you want to change that behaviour, you can specify `PAGER=` environment variable*

# To-Do

* Add `shpkg update` option (similar to `apt update`)
