PACSTALL

Pacstall Logo

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 binary, git, appimage, building and .deb packages
  • Accelerated package download using axel (optional)
  • 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
  • Ability to track Pacstall updates from any fork/branch easily
  • Completions available for bash (ZSH), and fish

Installing

You can run the command below to install Pacstall. You can also grab the deb file here but it may be a bit older.

sudo bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://pacstall.dev/q/install || wget -q https://pacstall.dev/q/install -O -)"

Uninstalling

You can run the command below to uninstall Pacstall.

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://pacstall.dev/q/uninstall || wget -q https://pacstall.dev/q/uninstall -O -)"

Basic Commands

Install foo (Equivalent of apt install):

pacstall -I foo

Remove foo (Equivalent of apt remove):

pacstall -R foo

Search for foo (Equivalent of apt search):

pacstall -S foo

Adding a Repository:

pacstall -A REPOSITORY_NAME

Update Pacstall's Scripts:

pacstall -U

Update Packages (Equivalent of apt upgrade):

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:

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/<language_code>.po file, making a new one by running cp misc/po/pacstall.pot misc/po/<language_code>.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.
