# NAME
|
|
|
|
apk add - add packages to _world_ and commit changes
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
*apk add* [<_options_>...] _packages_...
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
*apk add* adds the requested packages to _world_ and installs (or upgrades)
|
|
them if not already present, ensuring all dependencies are met.
|
|
|
|
# OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
*apk add* supports the commit options described in *apk*(8), as well as the
|
|
following options:
|
|
|
|
*--initdb*
|
|
Initialize a new package database.
|
|
|
|
*-l, --latest*
|
|
Disables normal heuristics for choosing which repository to install a
|
|
package from, preferring only repositories from which the latest
|
|
version is available. This has no effect on pinned packages.
|
|
|
|
*-u, --upgrade*
|
|
When adding packages which are already installed, upgrade them rather
|
|
than considering the requirement fulfilled by the current installation.
|
|
|
|
*-t, --virtual* _NAME_
|
|
Instead of adding the specified packages to _world_, create a new
|
|
virtual package with the listed packages as its dependencies, then add
|
|
that package to _world_.
|
|
|
|
The packages requested are added as transitive dependencies of the
|
|
virtual package, and by deleting that package the *apk add* operation
|
|
may be easily reverted later.
