RPM

A high-performance Node.js package manager implemented in Rust, focused on speed, safety, and efficiency. RPM handles package installation, dependency resolution, and version control while maintaining compatibility with the Node.js ecosystem.

Features

  • Fast parallel package downloads and installations
  • Secure package verification with hash checking
  • Support for global and local package installations
  • Full compatibility with package.json and npm registry
  • Memory-safe implementation leveraging Rust's guarantees
  • Efficient dependency resolution and version management

Installation

From Source

git clone https://github.com/nowayhecodes/rpm
cd rpm
cargo install --path .

From Cargo

cargo install rpm

Quick Install (Unix-like systems)

# Default installation
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nowayhecodes/rpm/main/install.sh | sh

# Custom installation directory
export RPM_INSTALL_DIR="$HOME/.local/bin"
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nowayhecodes/rpm/main/install.sh | sh

Usage

Installing Packages

Install packages locally (in current project):

rpm install express
rpm install lodash react react-dom

Install packages globally:

rpm install -g typescript

Removing Packages

Remove local packages:

rpm remove express

Remove global packages:

rpm remove -g typescript

Configuration

RPM uses the standard package.json for project configuration and is fully compatible with existing Node.js projects. It respects:

  • Dependencies and devDependencies
  • Version constraints
  • Package scripts
  • Other npm-compatible configurations

Performance

RPM leverages Rust's concurrency model and safety features to provide:

  • Parallel package downloads
  • Efficient disk I/O operations
  • Minimal memory footprint
  • Fast dependency resolution

Security

  • Package integrity verification using SHA-256 checksums
  • Secure downloads over HTTPS
  • Sandboxed package installations
  • Memory-safe operations
