Python NPM-like Package Manager

A lightweight, NPM-inspired package manager implemented in Python. This project aims to provide a simple yet effective way to manage dependencies in NodeJS projects, mimicking some of the core functionalities of Node.js's NPM.

Features

• 📦 Dependency resolution and installation
• 🔒 Lock file support for deterministic builds
• 🚀 Efficient caching mechanism
• 🌳 Visualization of dependency trees
• 🔄 Circular dependency detection
• ✅ Package integrity validation

Quick Start

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/schang03-boop/python-npm.git
   cd python-npm
   

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Run the package manager:

   python main.py install
   

Usage

• Add a package:

  python main.py add package-name
  

• Install all dependencies:

  python main.py install
  

• Visualize dependency tree:

  python main.py install --visualize
