prt

Package Manager for Windows

$ npm install -g prt

Install Packages via prt

Just like other Package Managers

$ brew install node   # MacOS
$ apt-get install nginx   # Linux
$ npm install gulp   # npm
$ prt install sublime_text

And then

$ sublime_text   # would open it up

Or if you want to spawn the app, you can

$ prts subime_text   # would not block

Mechanism

Get-URL -> Download -> (Extract) -> Link-to-Path

Todo & Cons

  • Async processing
  • Streaming download
  • ProgressBar for download
  • Version control
  • More packages to include
  • More testing
  • Build/cache files division
  • The implementation is very hack now

Current Packages Included

  • nw (nw.js, node-webkit)
  • electron
  • mongodb
  • sublime_text
  • ffmpeg

We need your forks!

Why I Built this?

Sometimes I need to help friends install apps, in Windows. And what we have to do is always: visit a site, click a link, download sth, and then extract it or run a setup... Holy shit!

What if just a line of terminal command via homebrew, apt-get, etc?!

So I determined to bring such a package manager to Windows. But as you see, we have very few apps now. It's the very beginning.
