Install xlings, then install your first package from this index.
1. Install xlings
# Linux / macOS
curl -fsSL https://d2learn.org/xlings-install.sh | bash
# Windows · PowerShell
irm https://d2learn.org/xlings-install.ps1.txt | iex
2. Install a package
The name is the one shown on every package page in this index:
xlings install gcc -y
gcc --version
Another one:
xlings install mcpp -y
mcpp --version
Everything lands in xlings' own directory rather than in the system; -y
skips the confirmation prompt.
3. Find things, see what you have
xlings search gcc # search
xlings list # what is installed
xlings remove gcc # uninstall
You can browse from this site too: each package page lists the commands it
provides (programs), the architectures it supports, and whether xvm manages
its versions.
4. When the index moves
xlings update
Pulls the latest package index. This site's stats page shows how many packages the index holds and what was added recently.
