Bari is a universal package installer that is meant to support every OS. Instead of re-inventing the wheel bari just keeps a database of the equivalent package names for every distribution/operating system.

The actual installation of the package will be done using the OS specific package manager.

The plan is to focus on supporting:

• Linux

  • Debian

  • Ubuntu

  • Fedora

  • CentOS

• OSX

  • Homebrew

• Windows

  • ??

• Multi

  • pip

  • source

Package descriptors

To see how package descriptors should look like, look at packages/example_package_complex.json.

TODO add a full specification of the package descriptor microformat
