The Peel Package Manager (pepm)¶

pepm (pronounced pep-um) is the official package manager and build system for the Peel programming language. It handles dependency resolution and project management.

Creating a New Project¶

To start a new project, navigate to your desired directory and run:

pepm init

This will create a peel.toml manifest in the root of your project with your project name.

The Manifest file: peel.toml¶

The peel.toml file contains configuration for your project and dependencies.

name = "my_project"
version = "0.1.0"

[dependencies]
http = "1.0.2"

Installing Dependencies¶

To install all dependencies listed in your peel.toml, simply run:

pepm install

This will download the required modules into the .peel/modules directory.

Adding a Dependency¶

To quickly add a new dependency and install it simultaneously:

pepm add regex
pepm add regex --version 1.2.3

Registries¶

pepm fetches packages from the default official registry hosted on GitHub.

Building and Running¶

You can compile your project using the peel compiler (separate tool):

peel run main.pel
