Usage

Package Operations

lspm add/install <package>[=<version>] [-y]    # Install a package
lspm upgrade <package> [-y]                    # Upgrade a package
lspm del/remove <package> [-y]                 # Remove a package
lspm list                                      # List installed packages

Repository Commands

lspm add-remote <url>                     # Add a repository (aliases: add-r)
lspm remove-remote <url>                  # Remove a repository (aliases: del-r)
lspm list-remotes                         # List all repositories
lspm update                               # Fetch and merge indexes
lspm set                                  # Add default LSPM repo

Developer Commands

lspm init <package>                       # Initialize a new package skeleton

---

Package Structure

Every package follows this layout:

<package>/
  <version>/         # e.g., 2025-12-20 or latest
    install.sh       # Script to install the package
    remove.sh        # Script to remove the package
    date.txt         # Optional for "latest" versions

• latest versions should include date.txt indicating the current version
• Nested dependencies can be handled by calling LSPM within install.sh

---

Example

lspm install hello       # Installs latest "hello" package
hello                    # Runs installed program
lspm remove hello        # Removes package

---

Contributing

LSPM is designed to be forked and extended. To create your own package:

lspm init mypackage      # Creates a skeleton package

You can deploy your packages to the default mirror mirror.5136.cloud by making a ticket in the 5136.cloud Discord or via the website: host.5136.cloud
