## README

# Tinyget UI

Tinyget is a Python package management tool, handling mainstream system package managers such as apt (used in Debian, Ubuntu, etc.), dnf (used in Fedora, CentOS, etc.) and pacman (used in ArchLinux, etc.).

Tinyget encapsulates the core operations of various package managers, allowing you to interact with them through a unified interface and format.

This project is the gui implementation of Tinyget. The tinyget cli itself is available in its [gitee repository](https://gitee.com/tinylab/tinyget).

## How to use

First you need to install tinyget cli interface and make sure it's in your PATH together with Tinyget UI (the client). Start Tinyget UI will automatically call `tinyget server` as its server.

The GUI now supports list / install / uninstall / search softwares, check system package manager's history logs and update packages info and upgrade system.
