Description:

metapackagemanager 5.18.0

What is Meta Package Manager?

provides the mpm CLI, a wrapper around all package managers
mpm is like yt-dlp, but for package
managers instead of videos
mpm solves XKCD #1654 - Universal Install Script

Features

Inventory and list all package managers available on the system.
Supports macOS, Linux and Windows.
Standalone executables for Linux, macOS and Windows.
List installed packages.
List duplicate installed packages.
Search for packages.
Install a package.
Remove a package.
List outdated packages.
Sync local package infos.
Upgrade all outdated packages.
Backup list of installed packages to TOML file.
Restore/install list of packages from TOML files.
Software Bill of Materials: export installed packages to SPDX and CycloneDX SBOM files.
Pin-point commands to a subset of package managers (include/exclude
selectors).
Support plain, versioned and purl package specifiers.
Export output to JSON or print user-friendly tables.
Shell auto-completion for Bash, Zsh and Fish.
Provides a
Xbar/SwiftBar plugin for
friendly macOS integration.
Because mpm try to wrap all other package managers, it became another
pathological case of XKCD #927: Standards

Note: Missing manager
If your favorite manager is missing or does not support an operation, you can influence its implementation: open a ticket to document its output or read the contribution guide and submit a pull request.
I can do that work for you if you purchase business support 🤝 or sponsor the project 🫶.

Installation
All installation methods are available in the documentation.
Below are the most popular ones:
macOS
mpm is part of the official Homebrew default tap, so you can install it with:

Windows
mpm is available in the main repository of Scoop, so you just need to:
> scoop install main/meta-package-manager

From sources
pipx is the cleanest way to install mpm from sources on any platform:
$ pipx install meta-package-manager

Executables
