# RPMI: Graphical Utility for Managing RPM Packages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RPMI is a simple graphical utility, developed in Rust using EGUI, designed for installing, upgrading, and removing RPM packages on Linux operating systems. It provides an intuitive interface for interacting with packages, using `dnf` as its backend.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
* **Install RPM Packages:** Easily install new RPM packages.
|
|
* **Upgrade RPM Packages:** Upgrade existing packages to newer versions.
|
|
* **Remove RPM Packages:** Remove unwanted packages from your system.
|
|
* **Graphical User Interface:** Intuitive user interface built with EGUI.
|
|
* **Detailed Package Information:** View package name, version, architecture, size, summary, URL, and description before installation.
|
|
* **Process Logging:** Monitor the progress of `dnf` operations in real-time.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
### Cargo
|
|
You can install `egui_rpm_installer` directly from crates.io using `cargo`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo install egui_rpm_installer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### COPR
|
|
For Fedora and RHEL-based systems, you can install RPMI from the COPR repository:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo dnf copr enable arabianq/rpmi
|
|
sudo dnf install rpmi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Pre-built Binaries
|
|
You can download pre-built binaries for various platforms from the [GitHub Releases page](https://github.com/arabianq/rpmi/releases).
|
|
|
|
## Build and Run
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
To build and run RPMI, you will need:
|
|
|
|
* Rust (version 1.70 or higher)
|
|
* `dnf` (for package management)
|
|
* `pkexec` (for executing commands with elevated privileges)
|
|
|
|
### Build
|
|
|
|
Clone the repository and build the project:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/arabianq/rpmi.git
|
|
cd rpmi
|
|
cargo build --release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The executable will be located at `target/release/rpmi`.
|
|
|
|
### Run
|
|
|
|
You can run RPMI by passing the path to one or more RPM files:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./target/release/rpmi /path/to/your/package.rpm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you pass multiple files, a separate RPMI instance will be launched for each.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
1. **Launch:** Start RPMI by specifying the path to an RPM file.
|
|
2. **Package Information:** The RPMI window will display detailed information about the package.
|
|
3. **Action:** Depending on the package's state (new, older version, newer version of installed), you will be offered "Install", "Upgrade", or "Remove" buttons.
|
|
4. **Execute:** Click the appropriate button to begin the process. The execution log will be displayed in the window.
|
|
5. **Completion:** After the process is complete, you can close the application.
