Yup helps you install packages with ease on Arch Linux
Searching with yup [search-terms]
returns most accurate results
Uses ncurses to display search results. This allows for mouse interaction in the terminal and easier navigation.
Don't want to use ncurses? Use yup -n
to use non-ncurses mode
Want to search the AUR exclusively? Use yup -a
Like yay, type yup
to run a system upgrade.
An easy to use config file located at ~/.config/yup/config.json
in JSON format.
yup -Qos
to get a list ordered package size.~/.config/yup/config.json
. {
SortMode: "closest"|"none", # changes how results are sorted (more to come)
Ncurses: bool, # Whether to default to ncurses or not (override by -n)
Update: bool, # Whether to update the pacman repos before every sync command
PrintPkg: bool, # Whether to print the PKGBUILD before install (for AUR)
AskPkg: bool, # Whether to ask to edit PKGBUILD before install (only if PrintPkg is true)
AskRedo: bool, # Whether to ask if you want to reselect packages before install
SilentUpdate: bool, # Whether you want to be asked to edit PKGBUILD during system update (overrides PrintPkg)
PacmanLimit: int, # The number of packages parsed from pacman to be sorted and searched
AurLimit: int, # The number of packages parsed from the AUR to be sorted and searched
VimKeybindings: bool, # Enabling Vim keybindings (j and k keys to go up and down)
}
yup Updates AUR and pacman packages (Like -Syu)
yup <package(s)> Searches for that packages and provides an install dialogue
Operations:
yup {-h --help}
yup {-V --version}
yup {-D --database} <options> <package(s)>
yup {-F --files} <options> <package(s)>
yup {-Q --query} <options> <package(s)>
yup {-R --remove} <options> <package(s)>
yup {-S --sync} <options> <package(s)>
yup {-T --deptest} <options> <package(s)>
yup {-U --upgrade} <options> <file(s)>
Custom operations:
yup -c Cleans cache and unused dependencies
yup -C Cleans AUR cache only
yup -a [package(s)] Operates on the AUR exclusively
yup -n [package(s)] Runs in non-ncurses mode
yup -Y <Yupfile> Install packages from a Yupfile
yup -Qos Orders installed packages by install size
Yup gives you the most accurate results first. As seen in the example above, yup sorts the results to bring the most accurate to the start.
Yupfiles
are small files that allow you to batch install packages with a single command. Here's an example Yupfile
Yup uses ncurses. This allows users to both scroll while not displacing the bottom bar and easily navigate to certain results using more natural forms of user input.
Yup has an easy config file seperate to that of pacman's. This allows it to be more customisable from the get go.
Yup has both yup -c
(for clearing all package cache) and yup yup -C
(for clearing yup's cache only).
Yup allows you to disable ncurses mode (to normal terminal output) using yup -n
temporarily or permanently by changing a value in the config file.
In the search menu, yup allows you to remove an installed package instantly using the R
hotkey.
After selecting packages to install, you can revise your decision if you made a mistake.
Yup will soon allow you to disable any of the dialogue during install using the config menu.
