## `pacapt` - An `ArchLinux`'s pacman-like wrapper for many package managers
[](https://github.com/icy/pacapt/actions)
`pacapt` is a 56KB `shell` wrapper for many package managers.
Simply install package with `pacapt -S htop` or `pacapt install htop`
on any `Linux`, `BSD`, `OpenWrt` or `Mac OS` machines.
It supports the following package managers:
* `pacman` from `Arch Linux`-based systems, `ArchBang`, `Manjaro`, etc.
* `apt-cyg` from Cygwin (via [apt-cyg](https://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg))
* `apt-get` from `Debian`, `Ubuntu`, etc.
* `homebrew` from `Mac OS X`
* `macports` from `Mac OS X`
* `yum/rpm` from `Redhat`, `CentOS`, `Fedora`, `Oracle Linux`, etc.
* `portage` from `Gentoo`
* `zypper` from `OpenSUSE`
* `pkgng` from `FreeBSD`
* `cave` from `Exherbo Linux`
* `pkg_tools` from `OpenBSD`
* `sun_tools` from `Solaris(SunOS)`
* `apk` from `Alpine Linux`
* `opkg` from `OpenWrt`
* `tazpkg` from `SliTaz Linux`
* `swupd` from `Clear Linux`
* `xbps` from `Void Linux`
* `tlmgr` from `TeX Live`
* `conda` from [`Conda`](https://conda.io/docs/)

## Installation
This script shouldn't be installed on an Arch-based system.
On `cave`-based system, `bash` is required.
### Install the stable script from Github
You can download the stable script and make it executable.
On non-Arch-based system, you may use `pacman` as script name instead of `pacapt`.
````
$ 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
````
If you have `curl` and want some interesting output:
```
# WARNING: Don't do this on Arch-based system!
$ curl -Lo /usr/bin/pacman https://github.com/icy/pacapt/raw/ng/pacapt
$ chmod 755 /usr/bin/pacman
```
For non-system package manager, you need to create symbolic links
```
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/pacapt /usr/local/bin/pacapt-tlmgr
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/pacapt /usr/local/bin/pacapt-conda
```
You can also use shorter links:
```
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/pacapt /usr/local/bin/p-tlmgr
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/pacapt /usr/local/bin/p-conda
```
noting the suffix (e.g., `-tlmgr`, `-conda`) is mandatory.
## Usage
### Basic operations
For system package manager
* Update package database: `pacapt -Sy`, or `pacapt update`
* Install a package: `pacapt -S foo`, or `pacapt install foo`
* Search a package: `pacapt -Ss foo`, or `pacapt search foo`
* Remove a package: `pacapt -R foo`, or `pacapt remove foo`
* Upgrade system: `pacapt -Su`, or `pacapt upgrade`
* Remove orphans: `pacapt -Sc`, or `pacapt autoremove foo`
* Clean up: `pacapt -Scc` or `pacapt -Sccc`, or `pacapt clean`
For non-system package manager: Similar as above, however you need to call correct script name, e.g.,
* Install a Conda package: `pacapt-conda -S foo`
* Remove a Conda package: `pacapt-conda -R foo`
### Basic options
See also https://github.com/icy/pacapt/blob/ng/lib/help.txt.
Some basic command line options
* `-h` (`--help`): Print help message;
* `-P`: Print list of supported operations;
* `-V`: Print script version
Some popular options of the original `ArchLinux`'s `pacman` program
are supported and listed in the table in the next section.
A long list of options and operations can be found from [`ArchLinux`'s wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Rosetta).
