bedepacko is a next‑generation package manager that combines the speed of Rust with the convenience of shell scripting. After a complete rewrite, the core engine (bede-engine) delivers parallel downloads, memory safety, and true concurrency – no more slow shell loops or fragile error handling.
⚠️ Status: The Rust engine is feature‑complete and ready for testing. You are invited to try it out and report any issues. The APT, Snap, and curl installers are being finalised – for now, use the manual build method below.
- 🚀 10x faster – parallel async downloads with
tokio+reqwest - 🛡️ Memory‑safe – eliminates entire classes of security bugs
- ⚡ True concurrency – data‑race free by design
- 🔁 Reproducible – lockfile support for deterministic installations
- 🌍 Cross‑platform – same experience on Linux, macOS, and Windows (WSL)

git clone https://github.com/PsymoNiko/bedepacko.git
cd bedepacko/bede-engine
cargo build --release
sudo cp ../bede.sh /usr/local/bin/bede
sudo cp target/release/bede-engine /usr/local/bin/Then verify:
bede chi🐧 APT (coming soon – preview)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:psymoniko/bedepacko
sudo apt update
sudo apt install bede🧩 Snap (coming soon – preview)
sudo snap install bedepacko🦀 cargo install (when published on crates.io)
cargo install bede-engine🌐 Universal one‑liner (when install.sh is ready)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PsymoNiko/bedepacko/main/install.sh | bash🎮 Basic usage (your custom commands)
Command Alias What it does bede biad nmap bede install nmap Install a package bede chi bede list List installed packages bede bere nmap bede remove nmap Remove a package bede resolve nmap – Show dependencies without installing bede lock nmap – Generate a lockfile
🧰 How it works (architecture)
· bede.sh – thin wrapper script, stays in /usr/local/bin · bede-engine – Rust binary that does all heavy lifting: · Parallel downloads with progress bars · Dependency resolution using petgraph · Lockfile generation (bede.lock) · Safe file operations
All state lives in ~/.local/share/bedepacko/ – no root required after install.
