Nala - A neat APT-Wrapper

1 years ago

134

Nala interfaces python-apt and adds a neat CLI with more features on top. It hides redundant messages, provides better formatting using Colors and ASCII-Styles, keeps track of installed Packages in a History and shows what happens during install, removal or upgrade.

Installation

If you're on a Distro using the latest Ubuntu repo, installation is as easy as sudo apt install nala. And that's probably the last time you have to use apt :)



Setup Parallel Downloads (optional)

After installation, it's advised to use sudo nala fetch to test all known Mirrors and select a few to use with nala. Nala will then balance the load of the downloaded Packages between the Mirrors.
