Install Pkg:
- clone this repo:
cd ~; mkdir -pv Gitlab; git clone https://gitlab.com/sc0ttj/Pkg Gitlab/Pkg - install (and register with PetGet):
cd ~/Gitlab/Pkg; ./installer.sh
Get started:
- View useful welcome message:
pkg welcome - Update all repo files:
pkg update-sources - List available repos:
pkg repo-list - Change repo:
pkg repo <REPONAME> - Search current repo for packages by name:
pkg n <PKGNAME> - Search ALL repos for package name:
pkg na <PKGNAME> - Get package info:
pkg status <PKGNAME> - Download and install a package (and its dependencies):
pkg add <PKGNAME> - Remove a package (and any left-over dependencies):
pkg rm <PKGNAME>
Search all package info in a repo:
pkg search WORDS
Search all package info in all repos:
pkg search-all WORDS
Download a package, plus its dependencies, but don't install:
pkg get-only PKGNAME
Or manually download and install packages without dependencies:
pkg download PKGNAME; pkg install PKGNAME
Choose from a selection of matching packages, and decide which
ones to download, install, which dependencies to get, as you go:
pkg --ask add "firefox mplayer"
Ask to uninstall each '_DEV' package you have installed:
pkg list-installed | grep _DEV | pkg --ask uninstall -
Display busybox package status, and package contents:
pkg -ps busybox -c busybox
Download and unzip all repo packages matching 'freeciv':
cd /root/pkg; pkg na freeciv | pkg d -; pkg ld freeciv | pkg unpack -
Build (compile) packages from source:
pkg build emelfm
Build (compile) packages from source, with custom build options:
(requires BUILDTOOL=buildpet in ~/.pkg/pkgrc)
pkg build xarchiver --configure='--prefix=/usr/local --other-opts' --cflags='-D -02 -whatever'
Set a different config file:
PKGRC=/path/to/your/pkgrc <pkg command>
Let Pkg suggest packages on missing commands:
source /usr/share/pkg/command_not_found_handle.sh
Disable package suggestions on missing command with:
unset command_not_found_handle
