PACSTALL
The AUR Ubuntu never had
Pacstall is the AUR Ubuntu wishes it had. It takes the concept of the AUR and puts a spin on it, making it easier to install programs without scouring github repos and the likes.
The list of available packages can be found here.
---
### Features
* Supports creating native packages from binaries, git repositories, appimages,
release artifacts, and `.deb` packages.
* Create high quality prebuilt `.deb` packages for distribution to users.
* During upgrades, you always get the latest build off of the latest commit
from the developer for `-git` packages. No need to wait for the pacscript
maintainer to update the script!
* Ability to install programs from multiple repositories instead of a sole
centralized repository.
* Powerful and expressive package recipe format.---
### Installing
We offer 3 ways to install Pacstall:
1. From a bash script:
```bash
sudo bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://pacstall.dev/q/install || wget -q https://pacstall.dev/q/install -O -)"
```2. From [the PPR](https://ppr.pacstall.dev):
```bash
sudo apt install pacstall
```3. From a `.deb` in our [release assets](https://github.com/pacstall/pacstall/releases/latest).
### Uninstalling
If you installed Pacstall from the bash script, you can run the command below. If you are unsure how you installed Pacstall, please run `pacstall -U`. If it displays an error message, you have installed it with APT.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> If you installed Pacstall with APT, please make sure to remove any unwanted packages with `pacstall -R pkgname` before uninstalling. You can run `pacstall -L` to list the packages currently installed through Pacstall.#### Bash
```bash
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://pacstall.dev/q/uninstall || wget -q https://pacstall.dev/q/uninstall -O -)"
```#### APT
```bash
sudo apt remove pacstall
```---
### Basic Commands
Install `foo` (Equivalent of `apt install`):
```bash
pacstall -I foo
```Remove `foo` (Equivalent of `apt remove`):
```bash
pacstall -R foo
```Search for `foo` (Equivalent of `apt search`):
```bash
pacstall -S foo
```Adding a Repository:
```bash
pacstall -A REPOSITORY_NAME
```Update Pacstall's Scripts:
```bash
pacstall -U
```Update Packages (Equivalent of `apt upgrade`):
```bash
pacstall -Up
```These are the basic commands, for more info, run `pacstall -h`
---
### Auto completions
Pacstall has fully supported auto completions for the `bash`, and `fish` shells. For the `ZSH` shell you can emulate the completions using the following commands.
#### Zsh auto completion
Zsh can emulate bash completion scripts by default so all you have to do is add these to your `.zshrc` or wherever you source things:
```bash
autoload bashcompinit
bashcompinit
source /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/pacstall
```---
### Translations#### How you can help
* Work on translations into languages not finished yet by either editing the `misc/po/.po` file, making a new one by running `cp misc/po/pacstall.pot misc/po/.po`, or using Weblate (https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/pacstall/pacstall/). Once you have completed or partially completed a po file, make a PR and we will merge it! Our goal is to have as many languages translated as possible due to the amount of people who may not be fluent in English.#### Supported languages
