1 # xpm 2 3 **x package manager** 4 5 A sh script to provide a generic interface to whatever package manager your system uses. 6 7 The goal of this project is to avoid the requirement for doing the mental check required when interfacing with your systems package manager, useful if you hop between systems frequently. 8 9 10 ## install 11 12 `install ./xpm.sh [INSTALL DIR]/xpm` 13 14 **INSTALL DIR** can be any directory in your *$PATH*, common locations are: 15 16 - */usr/local/bin* (requires sudo) 17 - *~/.local/bin* 18 19 20 ## configure 21 22 **tracking** 23 24 xpm keeps track of installed/uninstalled packages (only what you've requested for install, not including its dependencies) in `~/.local/share/xpm/installed.txt`. 25 26 This behaviour can be disabled by setting *XPM_NOTRACK* to 1, either in your environment. 27 28 **hooks** 29 30 xpm supports 'hooks' (inspired by git-hooks). A 'hook' is a script that gets executed *after* running the specified command. 31 32 All you need to do is add the script file to execute in `~/.config/xpm/hooks` and make sure it's executable. 33 34 This is useful if you install package outside of the package manager that require a seperate command to execute, or if you want to add additional behaviour to the default xpm commands. 35 36 37 ## authors 38 39 - gearsix
