apt

• OSGeo4W command line Installer/Updater/Remover
• Installs osgeo4w\bin\apt.py which can be launched from the OSGeo4W shell.
• Built from the source code at ​http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/trunk/apt
• Maintained by MattWilkie

This program is still in Alpha stage. The primary functions (install, upgrade, remove) seem to work well enough but it's not recommended for production use. There *are* bugs.

The package lags behind svn quite a bit right now, so please use svn apt.py when possible.

Interim documentation: ​http://code.google.com/p/maphew/wiki/AptGetLike

Not in the package but related is a ​standalone apt.exe which doesn't require an installed python and can be used to install OSGeo4W on a virgin system:

Minimal o4w skeleton:

SET OSGEO4W_ROOT=C:\Osgeo4W
apt setup
apt update
apt install msvcrt

A skeleton install is not so useful, so after the above run apt install gdal, and perhaps apt available to see what other package choices there are.
