Hello everyone,
I just wanted to know if anyone had success at installing the apx
package manager from Vanilla OS on immutable Fedora.
Currently, it throws an error on runtime like Error: Distrobox is not found
even though I specifically installed Distrobox. Users have done this for Arch, so I know it is possible.
Thank you,
Danche
You probably need to set the distrobox path in the config⦠/etc/apx/config.json
?

is there any copr for apx
?
No, if there were I wouldāve used it.
There is an apx, but the wrong one.
How to do this
- Clone the repo:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Vanilla-OS/apx.git
- Enter the directory:
cd apx
- Build
apx
:make
- Install the binary:
make install PREFIX=$HOME/.local
- Check if
~/.local/bin
is already inPATH
:echo $PATH
and check if/var/home/[USERNAME]/.local/bin
is in the output- If it is present, append
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin
to your shell config file. - If it is not present, append
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/.local/share/apx/bin
to your shell config file.
- If it is present, append
It should work.
Also, remember to fulfil the dependencies:
go
git
make
It is kind of same how toolbox works but apx is very new so i donāt know how stable it is.
It is very stable: It is little more than a user-friendly frontend to distrobox
, which has never crashed on me before.
