A lightweight, cross-platform cli package manager.

Installation

Download the latest release from the releases page or just run the following command:

You can port the configuration from remote at the same time by specifying the --init option:

# Useful when you want to quickly install `rpk` and restore packages on a new environment (like container).
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wfxr/rpk/main/scripts/install \
    | bash -s -- --to ~/bin --init https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wfxr/rpk/main/demo/packages.toml

Usage

To access the packages installed by rpk, you need to run the following command or add it to your shell rc file:

source <(rpk env)

There are several ways to add a package using rpk. The most simple way is to using rpk add:

$ rpk add sharkdp/fd

If you don't remember the exact repo name, you can run rpk find <keyword> and install it interactively:

$ rpk find ripgrep

You can also edit the configuration file directly and run rpk sync. The config file is located at ~/.config/rpk/packages.toml by default. Here is a sample:

# You can manage rpk by itself
[pkgs.rpk]
repo = "wfxr/rpk"
desc = "A lightweight, cross-platform cli package manager."

[pkgs.fzf]
repo = "junegunn/fzf"
desc = ":cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder"

[pkgs.fd]
repo = "sharkdp/fd"
desc = "A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'"

[pkgs.rg]
repo = "BurntSushi/ripgrep"
desc = "ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore"

[pkgs.eza]
repo = "eza-community/eza"
desc = "A modern alternative to ls"

[pkgs.bat]
repo = "sharkdp/bat"
desc = "A cat(1) clone with wings."
