About Equo
Equo is the command line client side application for the Entropy system. It is capable of installing, removing and updating packages, resolving dependences, reverse dependency handling and configuration file handling and that's just to start with.
Installing Equo
Equo is part of the Entropy package, To install equo follow the instructions on installing entropy available on the Entropy page
Using Equo
For a complete list of available commands with full descriptions:
# equo --help --verbose
Updating package repository
To update the package repository to the latest versions use this command:
# equo update
Updating your system
To update all your packages to the latest available versions use this command:
# equo upgrade --ask
Finding Packages
Searching for a package can be accomplished by running the equo search command:
# equo search <package name>
Note that you can use the --verbose flag in order to get more information about the packages; such as USE flags, CFLAGS, keywords, etc. This also works for match
Installing Packages
To install a package use the install function, the --ask amendment is optional but recommended.
# equo install <package> --ask
Removing Packages
To remove a package use the remove function as shown below:
# equo remove <package>
Cleanup downloaded packages
Every now and then you want to cleanup the packages that Entropy downloaded. Once installed the downloaded packages can be removed:
# equo cleanup
Full 'equo --help --verbose'
For easy reference output of equo --help --verbose pasted here in a nice, easier to read wiki format.
