PackageManager · LSD API

PackageManager is the desktop-side API behind the Package Manager UI and the lsd CLI — the one object that discovers, installs, enables, disables, reloads, and inspects packages. Most users never construct it; the desktop and CLI call these methods for you. Reach it from lsdtools.advanced when you need to script package flows.

Usage#

Python

from lsdtools.advanced import PackageManager

pm = PackageManager()
for info in pm.installed():
    print(info.name, info.version)
# → every package installed for this user
