macabout

Quick Install

Install macabout with one command. It detects your distro and installs the right package — run it as your normal user, it calls sudo itself where it needs root.

curl -sSL https://pandawood.github.io/macabout/install.sh | bash

On Arch, CachyOS, Manjaro or EndeavourOS you can build the package yourself instead:

curl -sSLO https://pandawood.github.io/macabout/PKGBUILD
makepkg -si
