What is xpm? ​

xpm (Vix Package Manager) is the official package manager for the Vix programming language. It helps you manage dependencies, share code, and publish your own Vix packages.

Overview ​

xpm simplifies the process of:

  • Dependency Management: Add, update, and remove packages easily
  • Project Initialization: Quickly set up a new Vix project with proper structure
  • Package Publishing: Share your libraries with the Vix community
  • Version Control: Manage different versions of dependencies

Core Features ​

1. Simple Configuration ​

xpm uses a xpm.json file to manage project dependencies:

json
{
  "name": "my-vix-project",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "std-extra": "^1.2.0",
    "math-lib": "^0.5.0"
  }
}

2. Automatic Dependency Resolution ​

xpm automatically resolves and downloads dependencies:

bash
xpm install

3. Local Cache ​

Packages are cached locally to avoid re-downloading:

~/.xpm/
├── cache/
│   ├── std-extra@1.2.0/
│   └── math-lib@0.5.0/
└── config.toml

Installation ​

From Source ​

bash
git clone https://github.com/vix-lang/xpm.git
cd xpm
make
sudo make install

Verify Installation ​

bash
xpm --version

Basic Workflow ​

bash
# Create a new project
xpm init my-project

# Navigate to project
cd my-project

# Add a dependency
xpm add std-extra

# Install all dependencies
xpm install

# Build your project
vixc main.vix -o my-app
