How to install a package from a file

This guide will show you how to install a package without using a remote.

This guide assumes you have installed unicornpkg and created a package (or downloaded one from the Internet).

Hint

The pastebin and wget commands might be helpful in getting your package onto a computer.

  1. Install your package with unicorntool install full/path/to/package.lua.

  2. Play with your package. The package most likely got installed to /lib or /bin; check one of those directories and play around with it!

  3. Remove your package with unicorntool uninstall package-name. The package name is in the source package. If it’s an application, there is a good chance it’s name is the name of the package.
