Nezmin2 If not, what am I doing wrong with eopkg?
As was already mentioned, it looks like the package you're trying to find with eopkg
is named differently than you expect it to be. But the point I wanted to make is, eopkg
is not a bad package manager at all. I suggest you simply take a few minutes to look through the heip listing in order to find out how to use it. Try sudo eopkg --help
to get started. There, you'll find ways to search the repository to discover whether the package you want is available, and what its repository name is. Since you're not a newbie, you won't have any problem with doing that.
For example, to find whether a package called pkgname is available, just try sudo eopkg la | grep pkgname
. In this case, la is the short form of the list available command for eopkg
. Like any other search, you can use the main part of the name you're looking for, and if there's any more to it, like maybe pkgname-current, you'll find it. Of course, if you're looking for pkgname and it's really something entirely different, it won't be found, but that's to be expected in any search.
The long forms of the eopkg
commands are very logical, and can be used as well. Once you've found that pkgname is indeed present and correct, try sudo eopkg install pkgname
or sudo eopkg it pkgname
. Both will work. Again, browsing through the --help
listing for eopkg
is a great way to quickly learn the most useful commands, and to find out how to do anything that eopkg
is capable of doing.
