APM

Manage applications and packages in ALT Atomic.

System packages

Install package:

apm system install hello

Apply change to an image:

apm system image apply

Declarative configuration changes are also available via editing /etc/apm/image.yml file

Execute command after editing:

apm system image apply

Explanation

Image changes are always applied declaratively and sequentially from the beginning of the list. During change application the host state is not remembered (i.e. It is impossible to remove a package not installed in the base image).

Distrobox

Distrobox allows you to use containers with any distribution.

Create container based on ALT Linux:

apm distrobox c create --image alt --name alt-container

Install package:

apm distrobox install hello --container alt-container
