Lpkg

Lpkg is a package manager written in Lua. I developed it primarily for use on the Neuros OSD, where no package manager existed.

• Suitable for use where the root filesystem is read-only
• Dependency and conflict support
• Can use multiple repositories
• Supports HTTP/FTP/filesystem repositories
• Written in Lua, making it light and fast

For instructions on installing Lpkg on a Neuros OSD, please see Installing Lpkg on the OSD.

Every repository of packages provides a feed (an .lpf file) to tell Lpkg what packages it contains. The feed file also tells Lpkg about the versions etc. of each package.

Managing feeds:

lpkg addfeed <url>
lpkg removefeed <url>
lpkg showfeeds <url>

Update information about all packages (by downloading each feed):

lpkg refresh

Install a package:

lpkg install <package name>

Remove a package:

lpkg remove <package name>

Show a list of packages:

lpkg list
