Firstly it is possible your pantry needs an update:
pkgx --sync
Thus if you were trying to run foo
but it failed do pkgx --sync foo
to see if that helps.
Typically this is not needed—we automatically sync the pantry in most circumstances that need it. This flag is provided just in case.
There’s millions of open source projects and pkgx
needs your help to package
them up!

{% hint style="info" %}
Curious about a specific pkg? pkgx +brewkit -- pkg edit deno
will open deno’s
package.yml
in your editor.

You trust us to just work and make your workflows happen. We take this job seriously and we go the extra mile on a per-package basis, for example:
- Our
git
ignores.DS_Store
files by default - our RubyGems defaults to user-installs and ensures gems are in
PATH
- Our
python
comes unversioned so the huge numbers of scripts that invoke/usr/bin/env python
actually work - Our
pyenv
automatically installs the python versions it needs
Additionally, we insist our pkgs are relocatable, which is why we can install
in your home directory (but this also means you could pick up the whole
~/.pkgx
directory and bundle it with your app.) We also begin packaging new releases almost immediately as soon as they go live using various automations.
We care about your developer experience, not ours.
