# apk-tools
|
|
|
|
Alpine Package Keeper (apk) is a package manager originally built for Alpine Linux,
|
|
but now used by several other distributions as well.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
The preferred build system for building apk-tools is Meson:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# meson setup build --prefix=/
|
|
# meson compile -C build
|
|
# meson install -C build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
While there is a legacy Makefile-based system available, it only works for musl-linux
|
|
targets, and will be dropped in the apk-tools 3.0 release.
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
Online documentation is available in the [doc/](doc/) directory in the form of man pages.
|
|
|
|
The [apk(8)](doc/apk.8.scd) man page provides a basic overview of the package management
|
|
system.
