Trouxa

It is an easy and fast tool to install your packages with just one command.

What means "Trouxa"?

In portuguese, Trouxa means something like a "bundle of clothes", but it is also a pejorative term like mug or muggle. Thinking in the first meaning, why not let this bundle carry Packages too? (It does not make sense, I know lol)

How to use?

With trouxa, you can install many packages just noting it in a file, packages.txt.

Example of packages.txt

python
vim
nano

Selecting the package manager used on your system, and and run it selecting the path of packages.txt

trouxa -m pacman -p ~/packages.txt

If the file has the same name as packages.txt and in the actual execution directory, you do not need to specify it because this is the default value for -p.

trouxa -m pacman

You can use also a remote packages' list to install you tools

trouxa -m pacman -p https://pastebin.com/raw/ysHUVswx
