## paxs
`paxs` is a convenient Bash script for searching, installing, removing, and upgrading packages across three different package managers: Yay (Arch Repository + AUR), Flatpak, and Snap.
It streamlines the process of finding, installing, removing, and upgrading packages across multiple package formats with a single command.
### Installation
**Dependencies:** yay, flatpak, snapd
1. **Download the script:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/zamhedonia/paxs.git
```
2. **Open the directory:**
```bash
cd ~/paxs
```
3. **Make it executable:**
```bash
chmod +x paxs
```
4. **Copy the script to a directory in your `$PATH` (e.g., `/usr/local/bin`):**
```bash
sudo cp paxs /usr/local/bin/paxs
```
5. **Now you can use `paxs` from anywhere in your terminal!**
### Usage
- **Search for a package:**
```bash
paxs <search_term>
```
For example:
```bash
paxs firefox
```
This command will search for the package "firefox" in:
- Yay (Arch Repository and Arch User Repository)
- Flatpak
- Snap
You'll receive the results from each package manager, one after the other.
- **Install a package:**
```bash
paxs -i <package_name>
```
or
```bash
paxs --install <package_name>
```
This command will search for the package and prompt you to select which source (Yay, Flatpak, or Snap) to install from.
- Install packages from specific source:
```bash
paxs -iy <package_name>
```
or
```bash
paxs --install-yay <package_name>
```
- **Remove a package:**
```bash
paxs -r <package_name>
```
or
```bash
paxs --remove <package_name>
```
This command will search for the package across Yay, Flatpak, and Snap and prompt you to choose which source to remove the package from.
- Remove packages from specific source:
```bash
paxs -rf <package_name>
```
or
```bash
paxs --remove-flatpak <package_name>
```
- **Check for updates across Yay, Flatpak, and Snap:**
```bash
paxs -c
```
or
```bash
paxs --check-update
```
- **Upgrade all packages across Yay, Flatpak, and Snap:**
```bash
paxs -u
```
or
```bash
paxs --upgrade-all
```
- Upgrade packages from specific source:
```bash
paxs -us
```
or
```bash
paxs --upgrade-snap
```
- **Display the help manual:**
```bash
paxs -h
```
or
```bash
paxs --help
```
### Example Output
```bash
paxs firefox
```
```bash
Searching for 'firefox' in Yay, Flatpak, and Snap...
Yay search:
firefox 89.0-1 [installed] (mozilla)
Flatpak search:
firefox stable flathub org.mozilla.firefox
Snap search:
firefox (v89.0) mozilla - Firefox Web Browser
```
### Implementation
The program directly executes `yay`, `flatpak`, and `snapd` commands to manage packages, making it a unified interface for Arch-based distributions.
