<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi Folks,<br><br></div>I'm please to announce that the apt command line Osgeo4w package management tool has been updated and now supports x64 packages.<br><br></div>Binary release from <a href="https://github.com/maphew/apt/releases">https://github.com/maphew/apt/releases</a>. Or the much lighter weight python script from <a href="https://github.com/maphew/apt">https://github.com/maphew/apt</a> if you already have python 2.7 installed (only apt.py and knownpaths.py are required)<br><div><br></div><div>This much needed update is largely because of Andreas Müller, Universitaet Trier (@amr66) - <i>Thank you Andreas!</i><br>...<br></div><div><br>Apt uses the same configuration files as the mainline Osgeo4wSetup.exe,
so either tool can be used to install and remove packages at will (but
not concurrently!). Apt strives to match Setup's results as closely as possible, and to not screw anything up that Setup does, but there's no guarantee that aim has been achieved.<br><br></div><div><b>Quick Start</b><br><p>Download the latest binary release from <a href="https://github.com/maphew/apt/releases/">https://github.com/maphew/apt/releases/</a>. Open a CMD shell and:</p>
<pre><code>SET OSGEO4W_ROOT=C:\Osgeo4Wx64
apt --bits=64 setup
apt update
apt install shell
</code></pre>
<p>32bit:</p>
<pre><code>SET OSGEO4W_ROOT=C:\Osgeo4W
apt --bits=32 setup
apt update
apt install shell
</code></pre></div><div>...<br><br></div><div>This release has not been tested much, so I'm waiting a bit longer to make an osgeo4w package to go up on <a href="http://downloads.osgeo.org">downloads.osgeo.org</a>. Please use GitHub for bug reports.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,<br><br></div><div>Matt Wilkie<br></div><div><br></div></div>
