Install applications

Install an individual application with the native package manager:

App and profile names support shell completion after running inc --install-completion. For example, type inc apps install g and press Tab.

Preview the command without installing anything:

inc apps install gh --dry-run

Install a predefined group of applications without confirmation:

inc apps install --profile core --yes
inc apps install --profile dev --yes

Inspect the catalog and current installation state:

inc apps list

inc doctor

Applications and platform package mappings are declared in inc/apps.toml. The supported package families are Arch/Manjaro, Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora/RHEL, openSUSE, macOS/Homebrew, and Windows/WinGet.
