Usage

This section gets updated with every release. If you are using an alpha or beta build, there might be extra features that aren’t in this section of the docs.

TermGet is really easy to use. To run it, all you have to do is open a terminal window, and type:

sudo termget

Once your package manager has been chosen, you will get a message like this:

Please choose an action

1. Search for packages
2. Install a package
3. Remove a package
4. Update all packages
5. Update Database
6. Clean
7. Credits
8. Exit
9. Enter bash

We will be using “eopkg” in the examples below. Results may vary for other package managers

Searching for Packages

Search, searches for packages.

If are using TermGet 3.0, it will ask “Did you find what you were looking for?”. If you type y (For yes), then it asks you for the package to install (just in case the package you were looking for had a slightly different name then you thought). Once you type the name of the package it will install the package.

Installing a package

Installing a package downloads and installs the package.

Removing a package

Removing a package uninstalls a package.

Updating all packages

Updating all packages updates EVERYTHING ON THE SYSTEM.

Updating the repository

Updating the repository, checks the repository for new versions of packages. It is recommended to do this before updating.

Cleaning

Cleaning helps save hard drive space. It does this by deleting cache, and deleting unneeded dependencies.

Entering the Shell

If you want to run a shell command like to add a PPA or something like that, you can open the shell and run the command, then type exit or press CTRL-D to leave the shell, and go back to TermGet.
