SetupThing

What is this?

SetupThing is a web tool to easily create and manage setup presets (especially in Linux).

The idea is to be able to install single programs or whole groups of them with simple commands (inspired in Deno).

Sources

SetupThing uses some package managers to install the available packages. Here is a list of them:

• apt (Debian/Ubuntu)
• dnf (Fedora)
• yum (Older Fedora/RHEL)
• pacman (Arch/Manjaro)
• zypper (openSUSE)
• snap (Snap packages)
• flatpak (Flatpak)
• emerge (Gentoo)
• apk (Alpine)
• pkg (FreeBSD)
• brew (Linuxbrew)
• nix-env (Nix)
• rpm (RPM-based)
• dpkg (Debian-based)

To check the source of specific packages, see software.json
