Module gcip.addons.linux.scripts.package_manager

Functions

def install_packages(*packages: str, with_sudo: bool = False) ‑> str

This function returns a shell command which checks which Linux package manger is available and installs a package. This is useful if you want to install a package within a Gitlab job but did not know on which system the job will be running on.

Currently supported are apk, apt-get, yum, dnf and zypper.

The drawback of this function is, that it only supports one package name. So if different package managers have different names for a package, this script will fail.
