Installation

This script shouldn't be installed on an Arch-based system. On cave-based system, bash is required.

Install the stable script from Github

You can download the stable script and make it executable. On non-Arch-based system, you may use pacman as script name instead of pacapt.

$ sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/pacapt https://github.com/icy/pacapt/raw/ng/pacapt
$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/pacapt
$ sudo ln -sv /usr/local/bin/pacapt /usr/local/bin/pacman || true

If you have curl and want some interesting output:

# WARNING: Don't do this on Arch-based system!
$ curl -Lo /usr/bin/pacman https://github.com/icy/pacapt/raw/ng/pacapt
$ chmod 755 /usr/bin/pacman

For non-system package manager, you need to create symbolic links

$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/pacapt /usr/local/bin/pacapt-tlmgr
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/pacapt /usr/local/bin/pacapt-conda

You can also use shorter links:

$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/pacapt /usr/local/bin/p-tlmgr
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/pacapt /usr/local/bin/p-conda

noting the suffix (e.g., -tlmgr, -conda) is mandatory.

Usage

Basic operations

For system package manager

For non-system package manager: Similar as above, however you need to call correct script name, e.g.,
