• Export/import package lists (for migration or backup)

Installation

1. Requirements:

   • Python 3
   • dbus-x11, python-requests and python-distro
   • dnf-plugins-core for adding dnf repos
   • Recommended: wget, curl, sudo, and your package managers (apt, dnf, pacman, ...)

2. Download python file from releases

3. (Optional) Add to your PATH:

   sudo cp better-pkg /usr/local/bin/

Or you can install it via brew (note that you will still need to install dbus-x11, python-requests and python-distro):

brew tap existingperson08/tap
brew install better-pkg
