apx: Install a DEB/RPM package inside the container (Use `--dnf` flag for installing RPMs).
$ apx install --sideload ${path-to-package}
try on your machine

The command apx install --sideload ${path-to-package} is a command used to install a package using the apx tool with the sideload option in a command-line interface.

Here is what each part of the command represents:

  • apx is the command or tool used to interact with the apx system. It is responsible for package management and installation.

  • install is the subcommand used to install a package.

  • --sideload is an option or flag you can pass to the install subcommand. In this context, --sideload means that the package being installed is located at a specific path provided after this command.

  • ${path-to-package} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual file path to the package you want to install. It represents the location of the package file in your file system.

When you run this command with the correct package file path, the specified package will be installed using the apx tool. The sideload option is useful when you want to install a package from a specific location rather than relying on a package repository or source.
