Using a Different Package Manager

This script is setup to use yay as the package manager.

However, it is very easy to change and use a different package manager

To use a different package manager, edit the yayfzf file and replace yay with the the package manager you wish to use (see below)

    ##-------- OPTIONS --------##
    packages_sort_by="votes"
    use_color="always"
    detailedPreview="yay --sync --info --info --verbose --color $use_color "
    installPackage="yay --sync --verbose --color $use_color --nobatchinstall --confirm"
    ##-------------------------##

Remove/replace any options to suite your desired package manager. Replace installPackage with the command to install a package. Replace detailedPreview with the command to view extra details about the package. ​

In this example, I replaced the commands to suite pacman. pacman doesnt have the --sortby flag. So I removed it. pacman also doesnt have the --nobatchinstall flag, to it was removed from the installer command

    ##-------- OPTIONS --------##
    packages_sort_by=""
    use_color="always"
    detailedPreview="pacman --sync --info --verbose --color $use_color "
    installPackage="pacman --sync --verbose --color $use_color --confirm"
    ##-------------------------##

NOTE

In the future I intend to adapt the script to be compatible with other distros/package managers.

  if [[ -z "${yayfzf_colortheme}" ]]; then

No Colors

yayfzf respects the environment variable NO_COLOR

Setting this environment variable will disable the use of color

Here is an example of setting the NO_COLOR environment variable:

export NO_COLOR=1
