Package Manager

One command.
All package managers.

Stop memorizing apt, dnf, pacman. TinyPM learns what's installed on your system and speaks every package manager fluently. One interface. No learning curve.

Note: TinyPM does not work on NixOS or Abora OS. Use ANIX on Abora for system management instead.

Installation

Clone the repo and run the installer. Use the Abora flavor if you are on an Abora-based system.

git clone https://github.com/AnimatedGTVR/TinyPM.git
cd TinyPM
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

# On Abora:
TINYPM_FLAVOR=abora ./install.sh

Usage

$ grab firefox

The primary install command. TinyPM v3 detects your backends and installs from the right one. If multiple are available it asks which to use.

$ grab -f org.mozilla.firefox

Force Flatpak with -f. Use -s for Snap, -n for native only.

$ tinypm search vlc

Search across all backends. Short form: tinypm s vlc

$ syspm update

Native-only wrapper. Routes directly through your system package manager — no Flatpak or Snap.

$ tinypm doctor --fix

Diagnose your install and attempt automatic repairs.

$ Parcel --version

Inspect the core engine directly. Parcel is the backend that powers TinyPM v3.
