Project description

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.
List 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List outdated packages.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Upgrade all outdated packages.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.
Pin-point commands to a subset of package managers (include/exclude selectors).
Export results in JSON or 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
