appctl primarly targets rlxos (releax os) but can be easily ported to any linux/unix system even without code modifications

Built With

Getting Started

While performing any task like installation, uninstallation or upgradation etc. appctl search for modules specified in /etc/appctl.conf or include/default.hh. then appctl pass app-id & args to every module in order if module support that app-id then that module will be used to perform tasks.
