Lola

lola : A simple CLI for installing packages on Linux easily

lola is made for linux users who want to download software fast and easy!

Now many will ask, Why use lola when we have those software managers?

Well, lola is a Command Line Interface and is used inside the terminal. And as we know, terminal downloads are way more faster than the software managers. While many softwares can be downloaded with a single sudo apt install, most common ones need some more commands.

So lola is here to make your life way more easier while installing software! This project targets both advanced and beginner users, because who doesn't like speedy and quicky stuff?
