Documentation

Refer to our wiki on GitHub for more information, documentations and details.

Notes

Please is a highly experimental tool. It is in alpha stages. There aren't many packages available on the please repository. Although we have a temporary fallback method to fetch install instructions from CNF, chances are high that you won't find the packages or commands you are looking for.

Please is a community driven package manager, adding commands to the please repository is easy and could be helpful to a lot of people with the same requirements as you. If you cannot find a command, or something is broken, feel free to make a PR for it. You can add install or build instructins for your own OS, or all operating systems, or you can implement a command in pure JavaScript.

Installation

Via npm

In case you already have node installed on your OS, you can run the following command to install please:

sudo npm i -g @please.dev/cli

Refer to "Installing Node.js via package manager" if you don't have node installed.

Via install.please.dev

If you're on Linux or macOS, you can use the following command to install please:

curl https://install.please.dev -s | sh

Using releases

Simply download one of the releases and copy it to your $PATH.

In Docker

If you already have node available on your docker image it's recommended to install please via npm. Otherwise you can do the following in your Dockerfile:
