install.erdos.one is not a package manager. It's a simple router, powered by Cloudflare
Workers, that redirects requests to the install script of the
open-source project you'd like to install. This project accompanies
gh.erdos.one, our GitHub raw content URL shortener, but allows
even shorter install commands for popular open-source projects. Uninstall scripts are also
supported, but are handled instead by uninstall.erdos.one.
The main impetus for this project's existence is frustration with overly verbose install commands. Many developers write beautiful install scripts only to present their users with horrid, needlessly verbose install commands. Let's make those install commands less daunting and improve our users' experiences!
Installs follow the pattern SHELL_NAME <(curl https://install.erdos.one/PROJECT_NAME).
For example, to install Homebrew, run the following command:
bash <(curl https://install.erdos.one/brew)If you'd prefer to use wget instead of curl, run the following command instead:
bash <(wget -qO- install.erdos.one/brew)Compared to the official brew install command, ours saves 53 characters (it's 55% shorter)! As
importantly, it's much easier to read and understand.
To list all projects in the registry, run the following command:
curl https://install.erdos.one/lsThis project doesn't aim to replace existing package managers — if you're looking for a project that accomplishes that, check out tea. Instead, it aims to provide simpler install commands for open-source packages not available on package managers (like installing Homebrew itself or Oh My Zsh). Additionally, we allow for the install of all the packages we produce through this project.
If there's a project you'd like to see added to the registry, please open an issue and if it's within the scope of this project, we'll add it!
A simple Cloudflare Worker powers this project. You can find the source code of the Worker here .
