.Dd June 12, 2019 .Dt XBPS-INSTALL 1 .Sh NAME .Nm xbps-install .Nd XBPS utility to (re)install and update packages .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm xbps-install .Op OPTIONS .Op PKG... .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm utility installs, reinstalls, downgrades and updates packages in the target root directory. The argument .Ar PKG is a package expression, which is explained in the .Em PACKAGE EXPRESSION section. .Pp If package is installed, it will be updated to the version available in repositories matching the .Em PACKAGE EXPRESSION . Otherwise it will be installed, or reinstalled/downgraded if .Fl f , Fl -force option is set. .Sh PACKAGE EXPRESSION A package expression is a form to match a pattern; currently xbps supports 3 ways to specify them: .Bl -dash .It by package name, i.e: .Dq Sy foo . .It by exact package name and version, i.e: .Dq Sy foo-1.0_1 . .It by specifying a package name and version separated by any of the following version comparators: .Pp .Bl -item -compact .It .Sy < less than .It .Sy > greater than .It .Sy <= less or equal than .It .Sy >= greater or equal than .Pp Example: .Dq Sy foo>=2.0 . .El .El .Pp The first repository matching the package expression wins. .Sh OPTIONS .Bl -tag -width -x .It Fl A, Fl -automatic Enables automatic installation mode, i.e. package will be treated as orphan if no package is depending on it directly. .No See Fl -mode Sy auto No in Xr xbps-pkgdb 1 . .It Fl C, Fl -config Ar dir Specifies a path to the XBPS configuration directory. If the first character is not '/' then it's a relative path of .Ar rootdir . .It Fl c, Fl -cachedir Ar dir Specifies a path to the cache directory, where binary packages are stored. If the first character is not '/' then it's a relative path of .Ar rootdir . .It Fl d, Fl -debug Enables extra debugging shown to stderr. .It Fl f, Fl -force Force downgrade installation (if package version in repos is less than installed version), or reinstallation (if package version in repos is the same) to the target .Ar PKG , overwriting regular package files and symlinks (if they have been modified) but .Em preserving configuration files . If .Fl f is specified twice all files will be unpacked, even .Em configuration files . .It Fl h, Fl -help Show the help message. .It Fl i, Fl -ignore-conf-repos Ignore repositories defined in configuration files. Only repositories specified in the command line via .Ar --repository will be used. .It Fl M, Fl -memory-sync For remote repositories, the data is fetched and stored in memory for the current operation. This ignores the existing on-disk repository archives in rootdir. .It Fl n, Fl -dry-run Dry-run mode. Show what actions would be done but don't do anything. The current output prints 6 arguments: " ". .It Fl R Enable repository mode. This mode explicitly looks in repositories, rather than looking in the target root directory. .It Fl -repository=url Appends the specified repository to the top of the list. The .Ar url argument expects a URL to the repository for remote repositories or a path for local repositories. Note that remote repositories must be signed using .Xr xbps-rindex 1 . This option can be specified multiple times. .It Fl r, Fl -rootdir Ar dir Specifies a full path for the target root directory. .It Fl S, Fl -sync Synchronize remote repository index files. .It Fl U, Fl -unpack-only If set, packages to be installed or upgraded in the transaction won't be configured, just unpacked. That means that those packages should be reconfigured via .Xr xbps-reconfigure 1 . .It Fl u, Fl -update Performs a full system upgrade: all installed packages .Pq except those on Sy hold , No see Fl -mode Sy hold No in Xr xbps-pkgdb 1 will be updated to the greatest versions that were found in repositories. .It Fl v, Fl -verbose Enables verbose messages. .It Fl y, Fl -yes Assume yes to all questions and avoid interactive questions. .It Fl V, Fl -version Show the version information. .El .Sh ENVIRONMENT .Bl -tag -width SSL_NO_VERIFY_HOSTNAME .It Sy FTP_PASSIVE_MODE If set to anything else than .Ar "no" passive mode will be set for the ftp connection. .It Sy FTP_LOGIN User name to be set for ftp authentication. .It Sy FTP_PASSWORD Password to be set for ftp authentication. .It Sy FTP_PROXY Proxy URL that will be used to establish a ftp connection. .It Sy HTTP_PROXY Proxy URL that will be used to establish a http connection. .It Sy HTTP_PROXY_AUTH Sets the credentials to authenticate a user agent to a proxy server, in the form .Ar user:pass . .It Sy HTTP_AUTH Sets the credentials to authenticate to a http server, in the form .Ar user:pass . .It Sy HTTP_REFERER Overrides the default Referer http header. .It Sy HTTP_USER_AGENT Override the default User-Agent http header. .It Sy NO_PROXY Specifies a set of domains for which the proxy should not be consulted. The contents is a comma-, or space-separated list of domain names. A single asterisk will override all proxy variables and no transactions will be proxied. .It Sy SOCKS_PROXY Proxy URL that will be used to establish a socks connection. .It Sy SSL_NO_VERIFY_HOSTNAME Disables SSL/TLS hostname verification. .It Sy SSL_NO_VERIFY_PEER Disables SSL/TLS peer verification. .It Sy SSL_CA_CERT_FILE Overrides the default CA certificates file, by default set to .Ar /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt . .It Sy SSL_CA_CERT_PATH Overrides the default CA certificates path, by default set to .Ar /etc/ssl/certs . .It Sy SSL_CLIENT_CERT_FILE Sets the SSL/TLS client verification certificate file. .It Sy SSL_CLIENT_KEY_FILE Sets the SSL/TLS client verification key file. .It Sy XBPS_ARCH Overrides .Xr uname 2 machine result with this value. Useful to install packages with a fake architecture. .It Sy XBPS_TARGET_ARCH Sets the target architecture to this value. This variable differs from .Sy XBPS_ARCH in that it allows you to install packages partially, because configuration phase is skipped (the target binaries might not be compatible with the native architecture). .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /var/db/xbps/.-files.plist .It Ar /etc/xbps.d Default configuration directory. .It Ar /usr/share/xbps.d Default system configuration directory. .It Ar /var/db/xbps/.-files.plist Package files metadata. .It Ar /var/db/xbps/pkgdb-0.38.plist Default package database (0.38 format). Keeps track of installed packages and properties. .It Ar /var/cache/xbps Default cache directory to store downloaded binary packages. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr xbps-checkvers 1 , .Xr xbps-create 1 , .Xr xbps-dgraph 1 , .Xr xbps-digest 1 , .Xr xbps-fbulk 1 , .Xr xbps-fetch 1 , .Xr xbps-pkgdb 1 , .Xr xbps-query 1 , .Xr xbps-reconfigure 1 , .Xr xbps-remove 1 , .Xr xbps-rindex 1 , .Xr xbps-uchroot 1 , .Xr xbps-uunshare 1 , .Xr xbps.d 5 .Sh AUTHORS .An Juan Romero Pardines .Sh BUGS Probably, but I try to make this not happen.
