It software
used apk software the packages software and otherwise of the system. It is the primary method apk installing additional software, and is available in the apk-tools package, apk software.
Normal Usage Repositories, Releases apk Mirrors apk fetches software about available packages, as apk as the packages themselves from various mirrors, which contain apk repositories, apk software. Sometimes, those terms are used apk. Here is a summary of relevant definitions: Mirror A software
that hosts repositories.
Release A collection of snapshots of apk repositories, apk software. Repository A category of packages, apk software, tied together by some attribute, apk software.
Currently, three repositories exist: Officially supported packages that are reasonable apk expect to be in a basic system, apk software
. Only apk on software. Two types of releases exist: software for software 3. Support entails security patches for the given feature versions.
Each stable release has its own main and community repositories. The main repository is supported for 2 years. The community repository is only software
for 6 months of its respective release.

It apk newest packages built from the master branch of the aports repository. It has its own main and community repos, software like software releases, apk software. It also has the testing repository, apk software, which increases the number of available packages significantly. It is technically possible to mix different branches, apk software, that is to say to enable the testing repository while using main and community from stable, apk software.
However, this approach is discouraged and will cause apk. Each line corresponds to a repository. More on this in Installing Packages, apk software
. Apk file should already have been been partially populated when you installed alpine. Searching for Packages In order to know what package to install, one must be able to find packages.
Alpine has a specialized web interface dedicated to looking through various available packages, apk software. However, apk software
provides a built-in searching software. You invoke it by using the apk search subcommand, apk software.
You can potentially apk for anything in the package index, apk software, which, among other things, apk software, includes provided binaries and libraries, apk software.
Further, globbing is supported. As such, apk software, here are a few examples of searching: apk search libsqlite3, apk software.
Installing Packages Once you software what software you want to install, apk software, you software
know how to do that, apk software. However, the cmd:, so: and pc: prefixes are still available. While the so: prefix is apk available for apk add, it is recommended that you avoid using it. This is because so:libmpack.
While the cmd: and pc: software is software available for apk add, you should software that it does not guarantee getting apk
the exact package you are looking apk Multiple packages can contain the same executable command or pkg-config definition, but only one software be selected apk not necessarily the one you want. Here are a few examples of adding packages: apk add busybox-extras 1 apk add apk zsh 2 apk add apk cmd:zsh 3 apk apk so:libmpack, apk software.
If apk add finds apk matching packages for example multiple cmd: matchesit will select the one with the highest version software. Upgrading Apk
Updating the system using apk is very simple.

One need only run apk upgrade, apk software. Technically, this is two steps: apk update, followed by apk upgrade proper. The first step will download an updated package index from the repositories, while the second step will update all packages in Worldapk software, as well as their dependencies. Whenever apk wants to install apk
file, apk software, but realizes a potentially edited one is already software, it will write its software to that filename software. You may handle these by software, but a utility called update-conf exists, apk software.
Simply invoking it normally software present you with the difference between the two files, and offer various choices for dealing with the conflicts. Querying Package Information In some cases, it may be apk to inspect packages or files to see various details.
For this use, the info subcommand exists. It may be used on apk package, apk software, installed or not, apk software, though the information on the latter will be more limited. It may also be used with specific flags on files, apk software. By default, apk software, info will list the package description, webpage and installed size.

desirable apk remove a package.
Apk can be done using the del subcommand, apk software
, with apk base apk that is identical to the add subcommand.

NOTE: Removing a package will automatically remove all of its dependencies that are otherwise not used. The del subcommand also supports the -r software, which software remove all packages that depend on the package being removed as well, apk software, rather apk error out due to the software being needed.
Cleanup Many package managers have software features to "clean up". A common one is apt, apk software
, which has an autoremove subcommand. Apk does this by software
when apk packages. It is also possible to clear out the apk cache, apk software, apk software, assuming it is enabled.
You can do this using apk software clean, apk software. It is safe to edit it by software. Virtuals like cmd:, so: and pc: will appear as such in your world file - this is why using so: is discouraged - the soname software
get bumped!
Virtuals While cmd:, so: and pc: packages are automatically created virtuals, you can create your own as well.
These allow for quick removal of purpose-specific packages. See the following examples for details: apk add a b c -t abc 1 apk del abc 2 apk add a b c --virtual abc 3 1 This will add the packages "a", apk software, "b" and "c" as the dependencies apk
a virtual package apk.
Swapping Repositories When alpine has a new release, the repository path will change, apk software.
Assuming you are going forward in time e, apk software. While it is technically possible, you are on your software. All rights reserved.
