app-fast Goto Github PK

Concurrent package downloader written in bash/zsh, for macOS, Linux, Android and Windows Msys2.

Inspired by apt-fast and powerpill.

The only dependency is aria2.

on macOS:

brew update
app-fast install vim tmux git
app-fast upgrade

on Ubuntu/Debian/Android Termux:

app-fast update
app-fast install vim tmux git -y
app-fast upgrade -y

on Archlinux/Manjaro/Windows Msys2:

app-fast -S vim tmux git
app-fast -Syu

Just download app-fast and save it to somewhere like /usr/bin/app-fast.

On macOS, you should put it to /usr/local/bin/app-fast.

Make sure you have the permission to execute it chmod +x app-fast.

On Windows Msys2, you should put aria2.exe to your system path first, because Msys2 does not provide aria2 package.
