Yet another useless Package Manager for Linux. It uses archives of the application and a json File containing the information that boundaries needs.
- Installing:
boundaries install <path to archive/dir> - Running:
boundaries run <package name> <arguments passed to the package> - Listing Installed Packages:
boundaries list - Removing:
boundaries remove <package name> - Print Help:
boundaries -h
Use the following Line to run the Installer (one line):
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pauljako/boundaries/main/install.sh)
More information can be found here
Since Version 0.8.6 it is possible do directly Update boundaries. Just download the Repository and install with the following Command:
boundaries -i <path to cloned repo>/apps/boundaries
Press Enter if it asks you if you want to replace the Existing one
Note: In Version 0.9 the CLI interface was overhauled, and you may need to Reinstall Packages so the .desktop files and the direct Command works again
The Repository is in Development and a boundaries package for downloading and installing Packages using curl is available here. However, I will not host an official repository (yet), but I will really appreciate if someone does.
Planned.
Planned for the Future.
The boundaries.json File is a File that contains all the Information for boundaries like name, version and much more
The File has to have at least two entries:
- name: The name of the package. name cannot contain spaces nor uppercase letters.
- command{run}: command is a Dictionary, which contains commands for certain things. the run command specifies the path to the executable that executes the Program.
There are many other not necessary entries. A full list can be found here
