@ rockedge, wasn't sure if this should be here or under Utilities or somewhere else. Feel free to move it.
Pkg-cli package manager was developed by sc0ttman and published on the 'old-forum'. https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtop ... cf#p985531
Pkg-cli package manager has been built into some of the newer Puppys. If it's not in yours, you can obtain and deploy it from the above post. AFAICT, it's is 'no-arch': will run under any Puppy, both 64-and-32 bit. See this post about 'How to install it", viewtopic.php?t=717
In operating it functions similar to apt-get: "A command line tool that can install, remove, update, compile packages." Unlike Puppy Package Manager, it is also easy to add sources of applications other than those your Puppy was constructed to access.
For those of us not familiar with apt-get and reluctant to learn terminal commands and syntax, it provides two GUI's and an extensive help file when using the terminal. The above linked thread is very informative.
