YAPI is a simple package installer made in python for version 3.x. It's free, open-source, and works on Debian distributions. The project is currently in an early stage of development.
To install YAPI you can use wget:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/YetAnotherPackageInstaller/YAPI/install.sh -O - | sudo bash -
This script clones the repository, delete all the useless files and set up basic arguments of configuration.
You can also clone the repository, edit the configuration by yourself (wiki page are not available yet) and run
./install.sh
To use YAPI, run the yapi.sh shell script:
./yapi.sh
Or use the short method with the name of the package you want to install:
./yapi.sh install <package_name>
To call yapi like this:
yapi <command> <package>
You need to set in the config.ini file the argument "want_soft_link =" with "yes" value and run again install.py with this command:
python3 install.py
To run yapi with the terminal question installer:
yapi console
To recreate the cache:
yapi cache
To install one of the packages:
yapi install <package_to_install>
To pull the newest yapi version from github:
yapi update
To get information about yapi:
yapi help
If you dont want to download YAPI but you need one of the packages, you can use the package manager to install a package with this command:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/YetAnotherPackageInstaller/YAPI/master/scripts/<package_name>.sh -O - | sudo bash -
There is a format for the install scripts:
# <description of package> - <reference site of package>
<bash commands>
An example of this format is test.sh:
# Description of package - https://github.com/YetAnotherPackageInstaller/YAPI
echo "Hello world!"
If you want to add one script you need to mantain this standard. This is because the packages list on yapi.py is generated with this information, taken directly from the scripts.
