This app is abandoned as it's barely functional and I don't use a debian distro anymore (which means I probably won't update it). Feel free to give it a pull request if you want it to continue.

Personal apt: installs apt packages locally in ~/.local/, without needing root privileges. This script installs the packages in a temp directory using dpkg -x and moves them to ~/.local/.

IMPORTANT This is still in very early development and could break your ~/.local/ folder. I recommend using this in a virtual machine or other seperated environment.

First, clone the repository and cd there:

git clone https://github.com/tygoee/papt
cd papt

If you want this to be available as a command, copy it to ~/.local/bin/:

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin/
cp ./papt ~/.local/bin/

Finally, setup papt:

papt --setup

Command usage: papt [options|args] command

Options:
install: Installs specified packages

Arguments:
--setup: Sets up necessary files for installing and running these packages
--help: Display a help message

Also see tedrek/papt, I noticed his project after starting with mine, but saw it was pretty abandoned.
