NVGT Package Manager uses JSON as its formatter; therefore, all configuration files must use the .json extension. Standard JSON syntax is required (e.g., keys and strings must be enclosed in double quotes).

To use the package manager software, run nvgtpkg to display the help menu. To get help for a specific command, run nvgtpkg <command> -h or nvgtpkg <command> --help.

If you are using the non-compiled version, run python nvgtpkg.py instead of the executable.

To create a package for the NVGT Package Manager:

• Create your library files using include directives.
• Ensure main.nvgt is in the root directory of the package folder. Users will include your package via #include "package_name/main.nvgt".
