pkg

Usage

pkg [-h] [-i|-u] <package> [package...]

Installs or removes packages using the system’s available package manager. Supports paru, yay, pacman, apt, dnf, zypper, yum, brew, and pkg. In auto mode (no flag), detects whether each package is installed and toggles it — installing if absent, removing if present.

The package-installed check uses the correct query for each manager:

pacman/paru/yay	pacman -Qi
apt	dpkg -s
dnf/zypper/yum	rpm -q
brew	brew list
pkg	pkg info

Arguments:

-h, --help	Show help message
-i, --install	Force install mode
-u, --uninstall	Force uninstall mode
package	One or more package names to install or remove

Returns:

0	Operation completed
1	No supported package manager found, unknown flag, or package operation failed

Examples

pkg firefox
pkg -i ripgrep fd-find
pkg -u cowsay
