Multi-version

The xPack Framework aims to automate the installation of multiple versions of development tools that are otherwise not easily available in common software distributions, across multiple platforms (Windows, macOS, GNU/Linux).

Easy to Use & Reproducible

The binary packages can be added to projects as development dependencies, and conveniently installed with xpm install. This feature also ensures reproducibility, which is particularly beneficial in CI/CD environments.

Part of the Node.js ecosystem

The xpm CLI tool complements npm with several extra features specific to C/C++ projects. This allows the binary packages to nicely integrate into the Node.js ecosystem, while still allowing the binary archives to be installed manually.
