BPM is still in very early development. There may be bugs that could completely break installations. For now it is recommended you use this only in Virtual Machines, containers or in a Tide Linux installation

Build from source

Download go from your package manager or from the go website
Download make from your package manager
Run the following command to compile the project. You may need to set the GO environment variable if your Go installation is not in your PATH

make

Run the following command to install BPM into your system. You may also append a DESTDIR variable at the end of this line if you wish to install in a different location

make install PREFIX=/usr SYSCONFDIR=/etc
make install-config PREFIX=/usr SYSCONFDIR=/etc

How to use

You are able to install bpm packages by typing the following:

bpm install /path/to/package.bpm

You can also use the package name directly if using databases

bpm install package_name

The -y flag may be used as shown below to bypass the confirmation prompt

bpm install -y /path/to/package.bpm

Flags must strictly be typed before the first package path or name, otherwise they'll be read as package locations themselves

You can remove an installed package by typing the following

bpm remove package_name

To remove all unused dependencies and clean cached files try using the cleanup command

bpm cleanup

If using databases, all packages can be updated using this simple command

bpm update

For information on the rest of the commands simply use the help command or pass in no arguments at all

bpm help

Package Creation

Package creation is simplified using the bpm-utils package which contains helper scripts for creating packages
