This library provides a wrapper for DNF, PacMan and APT, to help you control system packages from NodeJS.
It is written in JavaScript and only needs the standart Node libraries.
Copy this file and require it from your code.
If you have Node installed, it will work. The license for the code is included in the file.
You can install a package as follows:
installPackage(PACKAGE_NAME, SUDO_PASSWORD)
The function requires the package name and the sudo password of the current user.
The function will return true, if it worked, and false, if it failed. Also, you'll see all errors of stderr in your terminal.
You can remove a package, just like you would install one:
removePackage(PACKAGE_NAME, SUDO_PASSWORD)
The function requires the package name and the sudo password of the current user.
The function will return true, if it worked, and false, if it failed. Also, you'll see all errors of stderr in your terminal.
You can list all installed packages as follows:
listInstalledPackages()
The function will return an array with a list of packages. This may be very long.
You can list all packages in the database as follows:
listInstalledPackages()
The function will return an array with a list of packages. This may be very very long.
You'll get the entire stderr output of the child process for the installation and removal of a package.
As long as the function returns true, you can ignore the errors.
