Armory

Armory is a personal package manager. It has two main components: a registry that hosts packages and a CLI that can be used to publish and install packages.

> armory install path
info: installed package to /home/msmoiz/.armory/registry/path-1.0.0
info: installed binary to /home/msmoiz/.armory/bin/path

Installation

To install the CLI, run the following command:

curl https://armory.msmoiz.com/install.sh | sh # on Unix-like systems
Invoke-RestMethod https://armory.msmoiz.com/install.ps1 | Invoke-Expression # on Windows

This will install the appropriate binary for the target platform. Armory data and configuration lives in the ${HOME}/.armory directory. To complete installation:

1. Add the Armory binary directory (${HOME}/.armory/bin) to your PATH.
2. Log in to the Armory registry using armory login. Registry credentials can be found on the server that hosts the registry.

Supported platforms

Armory is supported on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. It supports both x86_64 and aarch64 architectures for these operating systems.

Registry

The registry is hosted at https://armory.msmoiz.com.

Publishing packages

A package represents a single binary or executable. It does not include manual pages, autocompletions, libraries, config files, or other peripheral artifacts related to the application.

To publish a package, use the armory publish command. This command reads an armory.toml file in the current directory to determine the name and other metadata needed to describe the package. It should contain the following fields.

[package]

General package information.

name

The name of the package.

version

The version of the package.

[[targets]]

Information about a specific target. There should be one targets section for each platform that your tool supports.

triple

The target triple that this target corresponds to.

path

Example

[package]
name = "armory"
version = "0.2.2"

[[targets]]
triple = "x86_64_linux"
path = "target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/release/armory"
