**What is Meta Package Manager?**

- provides the `mpm` CLI, a wrapper around all package managers
- `mpm` is like [`yt-dlp`](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp), but for package
  managers instead of videos
- `mpm` solves [XKCD #1654 - *Universal Install Script*](https://xkcd.com/1654/)

- Inventory and list all package managers available on the system.
- Supports macOS, Linux and Windows.
- [Standalone executables](#executables) for Linux, macOS and Windows.
- List installed packages.
- List duplicate installed packages.
- Search for packages.
- Install a package.
- Remove a package.
- List outdated packages.
- Sync local package infos.
- Upgrade all outdated packages.
- Backup list of installed packages to TOML file.
- Restore/install list of packages from TOML files.
- Software Bill of Materials: export installed packages to [SPDX](https://spdx.dev) and [CycloneDX](https://cyclonedx.org) SBOM files.
- Pin-point commands to a subset of package managers (include/exclude selectors).
- Support plain, versioned and [purl](https://github.com/package-url/purl-spec) package specifiers.
- Export output to JSON or print user-friendly tables.
- [Standalone executables](#executables) for Linux, macOS and Windows.
- Shell auto-completion for Bash, Zsh and Fish.
- Provides a [Xbar/SwiftBar plugin](https://kdeldycke.github.io/meta-package-manager/bar-plugin.html) for
  friendly macOS integration.
- Because `mpm` try to wrap all other package managers, it became another pathological case of [XKCD #927: Standards](https://xkcd.com/927/)

## Supported package managers

## Installation

All [installation methods](https://kdeldycke.github.io/meta-package-manager/install.html) are available in the documentation. Below are the most popular ones:

### Try it now

Thanks to [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/), you can run `mpm` on any platform in one command, without installation or venv:

```shell-session
$ uvx --from meta-package-manager -- mpm
```

### macOS

`mpm` is part of the official [Homebrew](https://brew.sh) default tap, so you can install it with:

```shell-session
$ brew install meta-package-manager
```

### Windows

`mpm` is available in the `main` repository of [Scoop](https://scoop.sh), so you just need to:

```pwsh-session
> scoop install main/meta-package-manager
```

### Executables

Standalone binaries of `mpm` latest version are available as direct downloads for several platforms and architectures:
