pacman for Mac OS X

Primary LanguageShell

pacman for macOS.

There are Mac Ports and Homebrew, and other package management for macOS.
However, as a pre-Archer, consider pacman the fastest package management utilities.

For most of packages in Arch Linux, or AUR, should be support in macOS.
However, there may be changed, for example, Arch Linux install to /usr and /etc instead of /usr/local.

How to install?

  1. (optional) define SRCDEST, PKGDEST, PACKAGER in ~/.bash_profile.

     export SRCDEST=$HOME/pacman/sources
 export PKGDEST=$HOME/pacman/packages
 # export PACKAGER="John Doe <john@doe.com>"

  2. just run bootstrap/bootstrap.sh, which will install pacman to /tmp/bootsrap.

  3. then you can makepkg -i like in Arch Linux now.
