GPM / Git Package Manager

A simple python-based package manager for linux. GPM currently at version 1.2 works with the following package managers for external installations:

• apt
• pacman GPM must be run as root.

Running

The application requires the user to be running it as root or with elevated privileges.

To download and install gpm execute the following command: (Replace "BRANCH" with the version you would like to install. E.g. to use the main branch replace it with main which always holds the latest stable release)

• If not as root user: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CyberDudeJ/gpm/BRANCH/gpm.py && cp gpm.py gpm && rm gpm.py && sudo chmod +x gpm && sudo mv gpm /usr/bin
• If as root user: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CyberDudeJ/gpm/BRANCH/gpm.py && cp gpm.py gpm && rm gpm.py && chmod +x gpm && mv gpm /usr/bin

Usage

• To install a package use: gpm get <package_name_here> or gpm install <package_name_here>
• To get the help page use: gpm h or gpm help (will currently redirect you here)

Packages & Adding new packages

The packages are listed within the packagelist.json file. If you would like to add a package, please fork this repo then create a PR.

Packages which are installed using another package manager e.g. apt or pacman should be added using the following format:

  {
    "ID": "1",
    "Name": "btop",
    "Deps": "None",
    "InstallType": "External",
    "RunScript": "None"
  }

Packages which are installed locally should be added using the following format:

  {
    "ID": "0",
    "Name": "2048",
    "Deps": "gcc git",
    "InstallType": "Local",
    "RunScript": "gcc -o ./2048/2048 ./2048/2048.c && mv ./2048/2048 /usr/bin && rm -rf ./2048"
  }

P.S. The ID and any syntax errors will be fixed when the PR is created.
