# nFPM
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**nFPM is Not FPM** - a zero dependencies, simple `deb`, `rpm`, `apk`, `ipk`, and
|
|
arch linux packager written in Go.
|
|
|
|
## Why
|
|
|
|
While [fpm][] is great, for me, it is a bummer that it depends on `ruby`, `tar`
|
|
and other software.
|
|
|
|
I wanted something that could be used as a binary and/or as a library and that
|
|
was really simple.
|
|
|
|
So I decided to create nFPM: a **simpler**, **0-dependency**,
|
|
**as-little-assumptions-as-possible** alternative to fpm.
|
|
|
|
## nFPM is not FPM
|
|
|
|
This is a subtle way of saying it won't have all features, nor all
|
|
formats that `fpm` has: it is supposed to be simpler.
|
|
|
|
And that's OK! Most of us don't need all those features most of the time.

## How does it work?
|
|
|
|
You create a YAML file with the definition of what you need, run the `nfpm`
|
|
binary, and it takes care of everything.
|
|
The same configuration file can be used to create packages in all the supported
|
|
formats.
