Orogene is a next-generation package manager for tools that use

`node_modules/`, such as bundlers, CLI tools, and Node.js-based

applications. It's fast, robust, and meant to be easily integrated into

your workflows such that you never have to worry about whether your

`node_modules/` is up to date. It even deduplicates your dependencies

using a central store, and improves the experience using Copy-on-Write on

supported filesystems, greatly reducing disk usage and speeding up

loading.



> *Note*: Orogene is still under heavy development and may not yet be

> suitable for production use. It is missing some features that you might

> expect. Check [the roadmap](https://github.com/orgs/orogene/projects/2)

> to see where we're headed and [talk to

> us](https://github.com/orogene/orogene/discussions/categories/pain-points)

> about what you want/need!.



### Getting Started



You can install Orogene in various ways:



npx:

```sh

$ npx oro ping

```



NPM:

```sh

$ npm install -g oro

```



Cargo:

```sh

$ cargo install orogene

```



Homebrew:

```sh

$ brew install orogene

```



You can also find install scripts, windows MSI installers, and archive

downloads in [the latest

release](https://github.com/orogene/orogene/releases/latest).



### Usage



For usage documentation, see [the Orogene

docs](https://orogene.dev/book/), or run `$ oro help`.



If you just want to do something similar to `$ npm install`, you can run

`$ oro apply` in your project and go from there.



### Performance



Orogene is very fast and uses significantly fewer resources than other

package managers, in both memory and disk space. It's able to install some

non-trivial projects in sub-second time:
