A feature-rich, cross-platform, simplified package managing program. It acts as a high-level wrapper that is capable of downloading and installing software and updates for many operating systems and offers many extra tools. When you interface with CONPAC, it pipes the commands through to the detected system package manager and automatically configures all package managers to behave the same way. It's an extremely simple, robust piece of software that doesn't require any extra software to run, making it easily portable to any system.

Updates

How to install

Step 1: Get the sources

mkdir ~/Sources
cd ~/Sources
git clone https://gitlab.com/trivoxel/conpac.git
cd conpac/

Note: You don't need to create a "Sources" folder. You can download the source code anywhere. I am using it as an example

Step 2: Install CONPAC

sudo make install

Step 3: Test if your installation was successful

conpac -v

Alternatively, install with only one command:

git clone https://gitlab.com/trivoxel/conpac.git ~/ && cd ~/conpac && sudo make install
conpac -v

Updating

From the git folder, run:

make update
sudo make install

How to remove
