Manage APT packages with a modern terminal interface

Built with Go, works as a frontend for APT.

APTUI is a TUI (Terminal User Interface) written in Go that acts as a frontend for APT.

The concept is simple: do everything you already do with APT, but without leaving the screen and without typing repetitive commands.

Main features

  • Real-time filtering as you type
  • Fuzzy search (no need for exact name)
  • Fallback to apt-cache search

Installation

Via Go

go install github.com/mexirica/aptui@latest
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Or via APT (Debian/Ubuntu)

(custom repository available in the project)

Then just run:

aptui
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

For more information, visit the repository.
