Pacm

Simple package manager for managing binary applications. A simple ini config is used to declare what packages should be installed and managed. pacm won't attempt to add itself to your PATH, this will need to be done manually.

pacm works with a single config file. This config file can declare packages and recipes. A recipe is a definition for where to download the recipe from and how to extract the recipe. A package is a combination of recipe and a version of that recipe: <recipe>@<version. These can be defined in your config file.

Recipes

Some default ones can be found at https://github.com/vishen/pacm-recipes.

New recipes can be added to your config file and will take precendence over recipes from any remote recipes.

Config

Will by default look for a config path at ~/.config/pacm/config.

dir=/some/path/on/disk

[terraform@0.12.0-rc1]
	active=true
[terraform@0.11.13]

[protoc@3.8.0-rc1]
	active=true
[protoc@3.7.1]

[kubectl@1.15.0-alpha.1]
[kubectl@1.14.2]
	active=true

dir indicates which directory to install binaries to. This will need to be added to your path.

[<recipe>@<version>] where recipe is a [recipe <name>] declared somewhere in a config file (ie: https://github.com/vishen/pacm-recipes/blob/e22e9659bfdaee20ade7a1654753c05a41597426/kubectl/recipe.ini).
