The Basics

paxy install {name}
installs a given package or packages by name. - If you don't know the name
paxy search {query}
searches for a package by name or description.

add
works as an alias forinstall
.
Updating a package
paxy update {name}
updates a given package or packages by name Alternatively, paxy
by itself updates the entire system.
Note:
upgrade
works as an alias forupdate
.

Automatic correction
For all commands, paxy
will automatically correct typos and abbreviations. For example, imagine a scenario where bash
isn't installed, but sh
is. paxy remove bash
will provide you with a prompt: "Did you mean 'sh'? [Y/n]". If you answer "Y", paxy
will remove sh
instead.
Warning: please don't remove sh. That is a horrible idea.
