Installation
Using precompiled binary
Pak uses continuous integration to compile. You can find the binary by clicking the download badge above.
Using the AUR
If you are running an arch-based linux distro, you can use the Arch User Repository
to install pak. First, make sure the yay AUR helper is installed, then run the following:
yay -S pak
Building from source
Downloading
Pak is hosted on my Gitea instance. If that is down, it is also mirrored on Gitlab.
To download pak, you can either use the download button on Gitea or Gitlab, or you can use the git CLI
To clone pak using the CLI, run one of the following commands:
git clone https://gitea.arsenm.dev/Arsen6331/pak
OR
git clone https://gitlab.com/moussaelianarsen/pak
Building
Pak is written in Go. This means go must be installed on your computer. Most
linux distros call the package that provides it either go or golang.
Once go is installed, you can check that it runs by running
go version
To compile pak, run
make
Then, you will need to figure out which package manager you have. Here is a list of package managers with ready to use configs:
- apt
- aptitude
- brew
- yay (with wrapper)
- pacman (with wrapper)
- zypper
- snap
If your package manager is not in the list, you can make a config for it. Go to the Configuration page for more information.
Installing
If your package manager is in the list, use one of these:
- apt:
sudo make aptinstall - aptitude:
sudo make aptitude - brew:
sudo make brewinstall - yay:
sudo make yayinstall - pacman:
sudo make pacinstall - zypper:
sudo make zyppinstall - snap:
sudo make snapinstall - custom:
sudo make installbinonly
Once the command completes, unless you’re using a custom config, pak should be ready and you can run the following to make sure it works:
pak
Go to the Configuration page for instructions on making a custom config, you must have a config for pak to function.
