apt-local 0.0.2b1

Description:

aptlocal 0.0.2b1

apt-local



Simple symlink-based package manager for local installations (without sudo)


Free software: GNU General Public License v3


Documentation: https://apt-local.readthedocs.io.


Features
Meant for Debian-based distributions: such as Debian / Ubuntu /
Linux Mint and so on.
This package is born out of the frustration of a typical grad student
who has no admin-rights over the machine, and has to rely on the
system-admin over and over for installation of that "X" package.
Requirements

Debian-based OS or atleast dpkg, apt-get and apt-cache
installed
GNU Stow: HTTP |
FTP |
Git |
CPAN

If Stow is not available in the system you may use this
script
to install it.


Warning

This is an experimental project, and often results in hit-or-miss
situation. The advantages with apt-local is a lightweight installation
and installing packages requires no compilation. If you want a more
robust package manager use one of the following:

NixOS/nix
conda/conda
fsquillace/junest
bpkg/bpkg


Quick start
Install the package using either of the following commands
python setup.py install --user # with the source code
pip install apt-local --user # without the source code

To get started choose a local directory where you would like the package
to be installed. For example ~/.local or
<path-to-scratch-directory>/.local and a directory called apt-cache
(name can be anything) under it (very important!). This can simply
be done as:
apt-local set-path ~/.local/apt-cache
apt-local show-path

Installing a .deb package is made as simple as:
usage: apt-local install [-h] pkg

positional arguments:
pkg

For example apt-local install wget.
Usage
The subcommands serve self-explanatory purposes. The subcommands
set-path and show-path are used to configure path and display the
configured path respectively.
usage: apt-local [-h] {install,uninstall,list,set-path,show-path} ...

positional arguments:
{install,uninstall,list,set-path,show-path}

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit

Make your installation useable by setting up environment variables such
as PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, CPATH etc. in the ~/.profile or
~/.bashrc. The following snippet can be adapted:
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin
export CPATH=$CPATH:$HOME/.local/include
export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/.local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/.local/lib
