Odd Package Manager - A rootless package manager, made to work with as little as possible

WARNING

THIS IS ALPHA SOFTWARE. EXPECT BREAKING CHANGES TO OCCUR WITHOUT NOTICE.

Why?

I wanted to make a package manager that would support as many linux environments as possible, including embedded devices, or containers where you cannot get root.

Installation

curl -sSL opm.oddbyte.dev/opminstall.sh > opminstall.sh && sh opminstall.sh

You can use bash, sh, or even busybox ash for the installer. Just replace sh with your desired shell. You must keep it as a file, because it tries to read from stdin. So using a pipe to pipe the output from curl to sh or bash will break the installer. However, there is nothing stopping you from using rm to delete the installer script after.

Features

• Runs on busybox, so it should run the same on all devices
• Custom repo support (Please DM me to get the backend software to run your own)
• Does not require root. All packages in the official repo do not require root to run.

Usage

opm@oddbyte:~$ opm help
