</PLUGIN>un-get
Slackware package installation tool for unRAID.
un-get is a package download and installation tool
for unRAID for Slackware package repositories.
Most used commands are:
update - Updates the packages list locally
install - Downloads and installs packages
upgrade - Upgrades packages installed by un-get
Adding '--force' or '-f' will force an upgrade from all
packages, the packages will be installed after a reboot.
This comes in handy if the repository is switched.
Missing packages from the new repository will be removed
immediately after confirming the force upgrade!
remove - Removes packages installed by un-get
search - Searches for available packages
installed - Lists all packages installed by un-get
cleanup - Will remove all packages/files in the '/boot/extra' directory
which are currently not installed on your server, regardless
if they were installed through un-get or not
ATTENTION: This will delete files which are not packages too
Example usages:
un-get update
un-get search python
un-get install python3 python-pip
un-get remove python3 python-pip
un-get installed
un-get upgrade
un-get upgrade --force
un-get cleanup
