# Yap
[](http://goreportcard.com/report/M0Rf30/yap)
[](examples)
## Introduction
Yap is a versatile tool designed to simplify the process of building packages
for multiple GNU/Linux distributions. It provides a consistent package
specification format, reducing the complexity typically associated with
multi-distribution package building.
## Key Features
- **OCI Container Builds:** Yap conducts builds on OCI containers, eliminating
the need for setting up any virtual machines or installing any software other
than Docker/Podman.
- **Simple Format:** Yap uses a simple format that is similar to [PKGBUILD](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD) from Arch Linux, making it easy to use and understand.
- **Consistent Build Process:** Though each Linux distribution requires different build instructions, Yap ensures a consistent build process and format across all builds.
## Quick start
To install latest release, follow the steps below:
```sh
# First, download the latest version of the software from the yap
# archives
wget https://github.com/M0Rf30/yap/releases/latest/download/yap_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
# Next, extract the downloaded archive
tar -xvf yap_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
# Move the extracted files to a directory in your PATH
sudo mv yap /usr/local/bin/
# Verify the installation
yap version
```
