Universal Package Manager for Linux
One syntax for all package managers. Simplicity for everyone.

Tired of remembering different package manager commands?

# Ubuntu, Debian, Mint
sudo apt install vlc

# Fedora, RHEL
sudo dnf install vlc

# Arch, Manjaro
sudo pacman -S vlc

With DPA, it's just:

dpa install vlc
# Works on ALL distros!

• One syntax — dpa install works everywhere
• Arch Installer — Install Arch in 2 commands
• Gaming Preset — Steam, Lutris, Wine, Gamemode ready
• Auto GPU Drivers — Detects NVIDIA/AMD/Intel automatically
• Multi-language — English and Russian support
• Transaction History — All actions logged in SQLite
• Clean Uninstall — Removes itself without trace

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ivanmat90/dpa/main/install-dpa.sh | bash

# 1. Download the script
curl -OL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ivanmat90/dpa/main/install-dpa.sh

# 2. Make it executable
chmod +x install-dpa.sh

# 3. Launch
./install-dpa.sh

Why is method 2 better?

• You don't run unknown code on the fly
• You can test the script before running
• If an error occurs, you can see which step is causing the problem
• It works more reliably in unstable internet conditions

dpa install vlc          # Install a package
dpa remove vlc           # Remove a package
dpa update               # Update package list
dpa upgrade              # Upgrade system
dpa search python        # Search for packages
dpa info vlc             # Show package info
dpa list                 # List installed packages
dpa clean                # Clean package cache
dpa autoremove           # Remove unused packages
dpa history              # Show transaction history

sudo dpa arch-install              # Base installation

sudo dpa arch-server                # Server environment
sudo dpa arch-config                # Interactive configuration

The dpa arch-gaming command installs:

DPA automatically detects your GPU and installs the right drivers:

DPA supports autocompletion in:

• Bash — ~/.bash_completion_dpa
• ZSH — ~/.zsh_completion_dpa
• Fish — ~/.config/fish/completions/dpa.fish

DPA speaks your language:

• English
• Русский

Select language during installation or change in ~/.config/dpa/config.json

• Python 3.6+
• sudo privileges (for installation)
• Internet connection (for first run)

dpa uninstall

This removes all DPA files, configs, and cache.
