## Installation Guide



### Step 1: Clone the Repository

Clone the repository into your system:



```bash

# Latest version

git clone https://github.com/fernand3z/update-script.git

# OR specific version (recommended)

git clone --branch v2.0.0 https://github.com/fernand3z/update-script.git

cd update-script

```



### Step 2: Run the Installation Script

The installation script automatically detects your shell and installs the corresponding script:



`I.` Run the command to make `install.sh` executable.

```bash

chmod +x install.sh

```

`II.` Run the command to install

```bash

./install.sh

```



- The appropriate script will be copied to `~/scripts/update_packages`.

- If your shell is not detected, manually choose the script from the `scripts/` folder.



### Step 3: Add Alias to Your Shell Configuration

To simplify usage, add an alias to your shell configuration file:



#### For Zsh:

```zsh

# Add to ~/.zshrc

alias upgrade="~/scripts/update_packages"

```



#### For Bash:

```bash

# Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile

alias upgrade="~/scripts/update_packages"

```



#### For Fish:

```fish

# Add to ~/.config/fish/config.fish

alias upgrade="~/scripts/update_packages"

```



#### For NuShell:

```nu

# Add to ~/.config/nushell/config.nu

alias upgrade = ~/scripts/update_packages

```



#### For Korn Shell (KSH):

```ksh

# Add to ~/.kshrc

alias upgrade="~/scripts/update_packages"

```



#### For C Shell (CSH):

```csh

# Add to ~/.cshrc

alias upgrade ~/scripts/update_packages

```



#### For Dash:

```sh

# Add to ~/.dashrc or ~/.profile

alias upgrade="~/scripts/update_packages"

```



#### For Elvish:

```elvish

# Add to ~/.elvish/rc.elv

fn upgrade { ~/scripts/update_packages }

```



#### For Xonsh:

```python

# Add to ~/.xonshrc

aliases['upgrade'] = '~/scripts/update_packages'

```



#### For BusyBox:

```sh

# Add to ~/.profile or /etc/profile

alias upgrade="~/scripts/update_packages"

```



#### For POSIX Shell:

```sh

# Add to ~/.profile

alias upgrade="~/scripts/update_packages"

```



After adding the alias, reload your shell configuration:



```bash

# For Zsh

source ~/.zshrc



# For Bash

source ~/.bashrc  # or source ~/.bash_profile



# For Fish

source ~/.config/fish/config.fish



# For NuShell

source ~/.config/nushell/config.nu



# For KSH

source ~/.kshrc



# For CSH

source ~/.cshrc



# For Dash/POSIX/BusyBox

. ~/.profile



# For Elvish

exec elvish



# For Xonsh

source ~/.xonshrc

```



### Step 4: Run the Script

Use the `upgrade`command to update all your package managers effortlessly:



```bash

upgrade

```

### Remove the Script



```bash

rm -rf ~/scripts ~/update-script

```
