julia-pkg

A command line interface to Julia's package manager functions. Note that Julia must be available in your path; that is, it must be callable from the command line as julia.

Installation

Run make install in the project's directory. By default the executable is installed into /usr/local/bin. A separate prefix can be specified as make install prefix=/cool/path, which installs the executable to /cool/path/bin.

Install packages

Packages registered in Julia's METADATA package registry can be installed one or more at a time using

julia-pkg install Example1 Example2 ... ExampleN

Packages that are not registered can be installed by cloning the Git repository using

julia-pkg install --git https://github.com/SomeUser/SomePackage.jl

The flag -g is available as a shorthand for --git. Packages cloned from Git can only be specified one at a time.

Remove packages

The command for removing packages is structured similarly to installing them from the registry.

julia-pkg remove Example1 ... ExampleN

Updating packages

All installed packages are updated at once.

julia-pkg update

List installed packages
