I suggest (pacstall)[pacstall.dev] instead on Debian, active development is not occuring

Get

A tool to install and manage packages from GitHub releases, helping you avoid outdated or unused packages cluttering your system.

Install

You can choose v0.4.2 as a valid alternative for v0.5.0, if you would like to avoid python annoyances; the previous version is written in golang and thus produces a self-contained binary.

Prerequisites

• Linux
• Python 3.10+
• uv (recommended) or pip and venv
• sudo access (for installing packages)
• For GUI: System packages python3-pyside6 and kirigami2 (or equivalent for your distro)
