Getting Started

Prerequisite

While not strictly required, having Nerd Fonts installed enhances the visual appearance of the interface.

Installation

Homebrew

$ brew install ymtdzzz/tap/lazypkg

go install

$ go install github.com/ymtdzzz/lazypkg@latest

Basic Usage

When you launch lazypkg, it automatically checks for package updates.

Note

If a package manager requires administrator privileges (e.g., apt), a password prompt will be displayed.

The sidebar supports common navigation methods (down/j, up/k).

You can review the update status of each package. Press u to update all packages for the currently selected package manager. You can also select multiple package managers with space and then press u to update all selected managers at once.

Note

Before executing any action that makes changes, a confirmation dialog will be displayed for safety.

If you want to update packages individually, navigate to the package list by pressing enter/l/right in the sidebar.

Here, you can see a list of updatable packages.

To update a specific package, press u while it is selected.

Once the update is complete, the list refreshes automatically.

Important

Even if you update a single package, dependencies might be updated as well, depending on the package manager.

You can also update multiple packages by selecting them with space and pressing u, or update all packages at once with a.
