Nala - A neat APT-Wrapper
1 years ago
72
Nala interfaces python-apt and adds a neat CLI-Interface 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.
