AllPac - Unified Package Manager for Arch Linux

Overview

AllPac is a command-line utility designed to simplify package management on Arch Linux by combining various package managers into one cohesive tool. With AllPac, users can seamlessly interact with packages from the Snap Store, Flatpak, Pacman, and the Arch User Repository (AUR) using a single interface. This eliminates the need to juggle multiple package managers and provides a unified solution for installing, updating, uninstalling, and searching for packages.

Installation

NOTE: The installer should produce 0 Errors or Warnings. If it does, please open an Issue and tell us!

To install AllPac on your Arch Linux system, simply run the following commands to run the install script (Source):

wget https://git.pixelridgesoftworks.com/PixelRidge-Softworks/Installers/raw/branch/main/allpac/install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

or you can use cURL:

curl -s https://git.pixelridgesoftworks.com/PixelRidge-Softworks/Installers/raw/branch/main/allpac/install.sh | bash

If you use zsh relace bash in the above command with zsh

(if you don't want to use the install script, a pre-built binary can be found here, you will need to run touch pkg.list && echo "{}" > ./pkg.list where you want to run the binary from)

  allpac update everything
  

• Update a specific installed package or packages:

  allpac update {package_name}
  

  or

  or

  allpac update {aur/flats/snaps/arch}

Logs and Cache

After you run things the first time (or you run the install script), all the logs, the package list, the binary, and the updater script will be contained here:

/home/{your_user}/.allpac/

Uninstalling AllPac

To uninstall AllPac is quite simple. You just run the following command (if you used the installer):

uninstall-allpac

Otherwise, simply delete ~/.allpac and /etc/profile.d/allpac.sh

NOTE: UNINSTALLING AllPac WILL NOT UNINSTALL PACKAGES INSTALLED BY AllPac!

Updating AllPac

If you used the Installer Script, updating is easy. Just run allpac-update-system.

If you did NOT use the Installer Script, updating is still super easy. Just use wget to pull down the updater script:

wget -O ~/.allpac/bin/allpac-updater.sh "https://git.pixelridgesoftworks.com/PixelRidge-Softworks/Installers/raw/branch/main/allpac/update.sh"

Give it the needed permissions:

chmod u+rwx ~/.allpac/bin/allpac-updater.sh

Then run the updater script:

. ~/.allpac/bin/allpac-updater.sh
