# Void Linux Package Management with XBPS
|
|
|
|
Void Linux utilizes the X Binary Package System (XBPS) for package management. XBPS is designed to be simple, efficient, and reliable. Here's a quick guide to get you started:
|
|
|
|
## Install New Package
|
|
|
|
To install a package, use the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo xbps-install -S <package-name>
|
|
sudo xbps-install -S bat
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace `<package-name>` with the name of the package you want to install.
|
|
|
|
## Install New Package From Local
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo xbps-install -S --repository <package-path> <package-full-name>
|
|
sudo xbps-install -S --repository host/binpkgs hyprland-0.35.0_1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace `<package-path>` with the directory of package and Replace `<package-full-name>` with the name of the package you want to install
|
|
|
|
## Updating Package Database
|
|
|
|
Before installing or updating packages, it's advisable to refresh the package database:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo xbps-install -Su
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command synchronizes the local package database with the remote repositories, ensuring you have the latest package information.
|
|
|
|
## Upgrading Installed Packages
|
|
|
|
To upgrade all installed packages to their latest versions, use:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo xbps-install -u
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command updates all installed packages to their latest available versions.
|
|
|
|
## Searching for Packages
|
|
|
|
To search for a package, you can use:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xbps-query -Rs <search-term>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace `<search-term>` with the name or keyword related to the package you're looking for.
|
|
|
|
## Removing Packages
|
|
|
|
To remove a package, use:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo xbps-remove -R <package-name>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace `<package-name>` with the name of the package you want to remove.
|
|
|
|
## Cleaning Package Cache
|
|
|
|
To clean the package cache and free up disk space, use:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo xbps-remove -O
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command removes old package files from the cache.
|
|
|
|
