Introduction

This is a Python based project to create a simple subsystem to install linux packages and their dependencies in user directories. It is meant to be used for PC's where sudo access is not available

This is based over apt download and dpkg -x which downloads the packages in user space and unpacks them. The paths need to be added to .bashrc so as to allow use over the commandline.

NOTE: This project is still in infancy, install and use at your own risk.

Installation

Currently you have to use the project through the git source code. Work is being done on pushing this to PyPI.
