Packer

A new type of package manager

Still under development

Goals

Package management works but it is far from ideal. There is no simple, free, platform agnostic way to distribute software. I want to fix this.

Enter Packer, a package manager built from scratch to support simple multiplatform software installation.

It should be:

• Simple
• Extendable
• Multiplatform (Starting with Windows, OSX, Ubuntu)

Installaion

Install using the following command:

pip install packer

Dependencies:

• Python (must be on PATH)
• pip
• pywin32 (Windows)
