Vajo

Installing Vajo

If you prefer a tool to perform simple package management tasks, you can consider installing apps/vajo

1

$ sudo luet install apps/vajo

This will install vajo-gui ( a graphical GTK based version ) and vajo-tui ( a text-based ncurses version )

Using Vajo-gui

After opening the Vajo program the main window opens.

1. Enter a search string
2. Status bar
3. Last time repositories were synced
4. Check this for a deeper search
5. Click this button to start search

Search results

In this example we searched for “apps”.

• If a package is installed we get the option to remove the package.
• If a package isn’t installed we get the option to install the package.
• Some packages are protected. This means the user can’t use Vajo to remove them. This is done to prevent users breaking their system by accident.
• Click on details to get more details about the package.

Additional functionality

Click on the “File” menu to get additional options.

• Update repositories: Syncs the repositories by running luet repo update.
• Full system upgrade: First syncs the repositories and directly afterwards runs luet upgrade.
• Check the system: Runs luet oscheck and repairs itself if missing files are detected.
• Clear Luet cache: Clears the system cache (only available if applicable).
• Quit: Closes the program.

Using Vajo-tui

The text-based version has exactly the same functionality as the GUI version. Great advantage is that you can use this when connected to a MocaccinoOS system using a remote SSH (Secure Shell) session.
