NAME

       Nala - Front-end for libapt-pkg

SYNOPSIS

       nala <command> [--options] PKGS ...

DESCRIPTION

       nala is a prettier front-end for libapt-pkg.

       The  goals  of  nala are to be similar to apt but add quality of life changes, and improve
       the output to make it more reader friendly.

COMMANDS

       install

              nala takes multiple packages as arguments and will install all of  them  just  like
              apt.

              nala  downloads  packages  in parallel.  Along with this nala can download packages
              from multiple mirrors concurrently to speed up downloads further.  We put in  place
              a  limit  to 3 packages per mirror so we don't put too much pressure on them.  This
              caps out at a maximum of 16.

              For more information and options run nala install --help

       remove

              remove works similar to the way it does in  apt,  but  nala  will  also  autoremove
              packages.

              For more information and options run nala remove --help

       purge

              purge works similar to remove, but also gets rid of configuration files.

              For more information and options run nala purge --help

       update

              update  updates  the  package  list.   Works  exactly  like  apt update with better
              formatting.

       upgrade

              upgrade upgrades packages installed on the system.

              By default nala will run the equivalent of apt update && apt  full-upgrade  --auto-
              remove.

              This  behavior can be changed in the configuration file or you can use nala upgrade
              --no-update.

              For more information and options run nala upgrade --help

       autoremove

              autoremove removes any packages that are no longer needed.

              For more information and options run nala autoremove --help

       autopurge

              autopurge purges any packages that are no longer needed.

              For more information and options run nala autopurge --help

       clean

              clean  will  remove  any  .deb  files   in   the   archive   directory,   typically
              /var/cache/apt/archives

              For more information and options run nala clean --help

       fetch

              fetch is the first command that doesn't have an apt counterpart.

              nala will parse either:
                     the        Debian        mirror        list       from       https://mirror-
                     master.debian.org/status/Mirrors.masterlist,

                     or the Ubuntu mirror list from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors-
                     rss

              nala will then select the mirrors that it has determined are the fastest.

              This is done by downloading the Release file and timing how long it takes.

              For more information and options run nala fetch --help

       show

              show  information  about  the  given  package(s)  highlighted with color to improve
              readability.

              For more information and options run nala show --help

       search

              search all packages in the cache with a regex string.  By default searches  package
              names, source names, and descriptions.

              For more information and options run nala search --help

       list

              list packages in the cache.

              For more information and options run nala list --help

       history

              history  is  another  command  not found in apt.  Every install, remove, or upgrade
              command is stored with an id.  You can use history to view these in a summary style
              view,  and  even  go more in depth with history info [id].  If you're familiar with
              how Fedora's dnf history command works, then you'll feel right at home.

              This command is inspired by dnf's history functionality.

              For more information and options run nala history --help

EXAMPLES

       nala install --update wine
              downloads and installs wine, updating the package cache first.

       nala upgrade --no-update
              upgrades the system without updating the package cache.

       nala fetch --auto --fetches 8 --country US
              fetches 8 mirrors in the United States uninteractively.
