xbps
also: X Binary Package System
XBPS is the X Binary Package System, a lightweight and fast package manager used by Void Linux for installing, updating, and managing software packages.
XBPS (X Binary Package System) is Void Linux's native package manager, designed to be simple, efficient, and fast. It handles the installation, removal, upgrading, and management of binary packages and their dependencies.
XBPS uses a straightforward command-line interface with tools like xbps-install for installing packages, xbps-remove for removal, and xbps-query for searching and querying package information. For example, xbps-install -S firefox installs Firefox and xbps-remove firefox removes it.
Unlike some heavier package managers, XBPS prioritizes speed and minimal dependencies. It maintains a repository of pre-compiled binary packages, making installation quick without requiring compilation on the user's system in most cases.
