UPT — Universal Package-management Tool

Upt provides a unified command interface to manage packages for any operating system.

Upt relies on the platform's package management tool to perform the task, it's more like a wrapper or adaptive alias.

Install

Use Cargo

Upt is written in the rust so you can install it using cargo.

cargo install upt

Use Shell (Mac, Linux)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sigoden/upt/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --to /usr/local/bin

Binaries for macOS, Linux, Windows, BSD

Download from GitHub Releases, unzip and add upt to your $PATH.

Features

Unified command interface

Each operating system (OS) has its own package management tool, which requires different commands to complete the same operation. This can be inconvenient when switching between or trying new OSs.

apt install $pkg          # Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint...
apk add $pkg              # Alpine
pacman -S $pkg            # Arch, Manjaro...
nix-env -i $pkg           # Nixos
xbps-install $pkg         # Voidlinux
emerge $pkg               # Gentoo

With upt, You just need to remember one command:

upt install $pkg          # Works on any OS

Upt identifies the os type and runs the appropriate package management tool to install $pkg.

Act as another tool

Upt can act as another tool and use their syntax by renaming it.

cp upt brew
brew install $pkg

cp upt pacman
pacman -S $pkg

cp upt emerge
emerge $pkg

In this way, you can use the syntax of the tool you are most familiar with to manage packages.

Upt will determine which package management tool to use based on the above table.

Some platforms may support multiple package management tools, upt selects one of them in order.

You can specify the package manager that UPT should use by setting the UPT_TOOL environment variable.

UPT_TOOL=brew upt install $pkg            # equal to `brew install $pkg`
UPT_TOOL=nix-env upt install $pkg         # equal to `nix-env -i $pkg`
