cachyos-packageinstaller

Simple Software Application Package Installer.

Requirements

• C++23 feature required (tested with GCC 14.1.1 and Clang 18) Any compiler which support C++23 standard should work.

Installing from Source

This is tested on Arch Linux, but any recent Arch Linux based system with latest C++23 compiler should do:

sudo pacman -S \
    base-devel cmake pkg-config make qt6-base qt6-tools polkit-qt6

You also need Rust installed:

sudo pacman -S rustup
rustup default stable

Cloning the Source Code

git clone https://github.com/cachyos/packageinstaller.git
cd packageinstaller

Building and Configuring

To build, first, configure it(if you intend to install it globally, you might also want --prefix=/usr):

./configure.sh --prefix=/usr/local

Second, build it:

./build.sh

Running the Binary

./build/RelWithDebInfo/cachyos-pi

Easy way to verify pkglist.yaml in fish

for pkg in (yq -r '.[].packages[]' pkglist.yaml)
    for split in (string split ' ' $pkg)
        pacman -Si $split >/dev/null 2>&1; and echo "Found: $split"; or echo "NOT FOUND: $split"
    end
end
