With ToolInst you can organize compressed files and installers into one single folder. You can manage this folder with just a few simple commands.
Make sure that you've already installed ToolInst, installation here.
First, you have to create a config file for ToolInst. This file should be in your home directory and should be named .toolinstrc.
In this file, you have to set INSTALL with the path to the folder you want to use to organize all your files.
Something like this:
INSTALL=path
Replace
pathwith an absolute path to the folder.
In this folder, there should be two folders for compressed files and installers. These are named .compressed and .installer respectively by default.
If you want to set different names or paths to these folders, you can use these configs:
COMPRESSED_DIR_NAME=name_or_path
INSTALLER_DIR_NAME=name_or_path
Replace
name_or_pathwith an absolute path to the folder or a name.
It's recommended that you create these folders before using ToolInst, commands may fail if these folders don't exist.
Finally, you can run toolinst --help in your terminal to see all commands you can use. Hope it'll be useful!
