kpi — Kerl Package Index

Package manager for the Kerl language.
Packages are GitHub repositories — no central registry needed.

Installation

npm install -g kerl-kpi

Usage

kpi -i kerl-lang/http-server # install latest
kpi -i kerl-lang/[email protected] # install specific version
kpi -i # install all from kerl.toml
kpi -r kerl-lang/http-server # remove
kpi -u # update all
kpi -u kerl-lang/http-server # update one
kpi -l # list installed
kpi -init # create kerl.toml

Add -g to any command to operate globally (~/.kpi/packages/).

kerl.toml

project = "my-project"
version = "1.0.0"
description = "My Kerl project"
author = "Dylan"
license = "MIT"
entry = "main.ke"

[packages]
"kerl-lang/http-server" = "1.2.0"
"kerl-lang/json-parser" = "*"

Using installed packages

var math = load("./ke_modules/http-server/main.ke")
print(math.square(5))   # 25

How it works

1. Hits the GitHub API to resolve the latest release tag (or commit SHA if no releases)
2. Downloads the tarball directly from GitHub
3. Extracts into ke_modules/<name>/
4. Locks the resolved version in kerl.lock

No registry. No daemon. Just GitHub.
