Easy to Use

The xPack binaries can be added to projects as development dependencies, and conveniently installed with xpm install, a feature especially useful in CI environments.

Multi-version, cross-platform

By design, multiple versions of the same tool can be installed at the same time on the same system. Most modern platforms are supported.

Part of the Node.js ecosystem

The xpm tool is an extension of npm, and binary xPacks nicely integrate into the Node.js ecosystem, while still allowing to install the archives manually.
