Install xlings, then install your first package from this index.
Install xlings
curl -fsSL https://d2learn.org/xlings-install.sh | bash
irm https://d2learn.org/xlings-install.ps1.txt | iex
The first is for Linux and macOS, the second for Windows PowerShell.
Install a package
The name is the one on each package's page:
xlings install gcc -y
gcc --version
Another one:
xlings install mcpp -y
mcpp --version
Everything goes into xlings's own directory, not the system; -y answers the
confirmation.
Find things, see what you have
xlings search gcc # search
xlings list # what is installed
xlings remove gcc # uninstall
Each package's page on index.xlings.org lists the
commands it provides, the architectures it supports, and whether its versions are
switchable with xlings use.
When the index moves
xlings update
fetches the newest snapshot of the index. The site's stats page shows how many packages the index holds and what was added recently.
