## Quickstart
*Package install and delete demonstration in docker*
### Install with Cargo
To install LPM from a specific branch, run the following command:
```sh
cargo install --git https://github.com/lodosgroup/lpm --branch main
```
Alternatively, you can install it from tags:
```sh
cargo install --git https://github.com/lodosgroup/lpm --branch
```
To confirm a successful LPM installation, simply execute the `lpm -v` or `lpm --version` command.
### Build LPM from Source
If you prefer building LPM from its source code (usually preferred for development), follow these steps:
1. **Clone the lpm repository from GitHub**:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/lodosgroup/lpm
```
2. **Change into the cloned repository directory**:
```sh
cd lpm
```
3. **Build the lpm executable**:
```sh
cargo build --release # exclude the `--release` flag for debugging
```
After the building, you will be able to use the lpm executable under`target/{debug/release}` directory.
### Try in Docker
You don't need to install LPM on your host system just to play with it. You can use the docker image instead:
```sh
docker run -it ozkanonur/lpm:alpha
```
If you want to do some benchmarking with `perf` tool, you may need to add `--privileged` flag:
```sh
docker run -it --privileged ozkanonur/lpm:alpha
```
Now, you can play with LPM as you like in the container without touching your host system.
### Database and Repository Setup (ignore this step if using docker):
1. **Migrate LPM database**:
The first step is to migrate the LPM database. This process initializes the core database files required for LPM to function effectively.
```sh
sudo lpm --update --db
```
2. **Add repository**:
Adding a repository is essential for LPM to access and manage packages. A repository acts as the source of packages for your system. Let's add the `linux-amd64-default` repository as an example.
```sh
# args:
sudo lpm --repository --add linux-amd64-default linux-amd64-default.lpm.lodosgroup.org
```
Once you've added the repository, LPM will synchronize with the package indexes sourced from the added repository. This indicates that you are all set to install packages.
### Basic Usage
1. **Install a package**:
Installing packages using LPM is straightforward. Simply use the following command, replacing with the name of the package you want to install.
```sh
# args:
sudo lpm --install lzip
```
To confirm the successful completion of the installation, you can check by running the command `lzip --version`.
2. **Delete the installed package**:
If you want to delete a package from your system, use the delete command followed by the package name.
```sh
# args:
sudo lpm --delete lzip
```
These steps cover the basic operations to quickly start using the LOD Package Manager. You can explore the advanced features of LPM from the docs at https://lpm.lodosgroup.org.
