# AppManager

A GUI for the OpenBSD package manager.

You can search for packages by typing text. There is a setting if you want to include packages description into the search.

There are four types of lines coloration:
- no coloration: package is not installed and not selected
- green: package is not installed but will be installed
 
- yellow: package is installed
- red: package is installed but you want to desinstall it

# TODO

- hide categories with no packages in it

# Bugs / limitation

- make sure to run pkg_add -u before using AppManager, as it currently uses the full package name including the version for installing, if the version change pkg_add won't find it
