Rhino PKG
Rhino PKG (command: rhino-pkg, symlink: rpk) is our custom meta-package manager. It was designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind. It will allow for you to search, install, remove and upgrade packages from all of our supported package manager repositories.
ⓘ
Important: We strongly urge users to use Rhino PKG instead of each package manager individually.
Supported package managers
- APT
- Pacstall
- Flatpak
- Snapcraft
✎
Note: Rhino PKG will only interact with package managers installed on the system.
⚠
Warning: Rhino PKG does not handle repositories within package managers. To specifically select from repositories, use the appropriate individual command (e.g. sudo snap install --edge for Edge snaps or sudo flatpak install flathub-beta for beta flatpaks.)
