Universal Cross-Platform Package Manager | Linux | Windows | macOS | Package Management Made Simple
The only package manager you'll ever need. Install software on any operating system with one command.
╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ 🎯 THE GOAL: One command that works everywhere ║
║ ⚡ THE APPROACH: Simple, fast, reliable ║
║ 🔧 THE REALITY: What actually works ║
╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
The problem: Every developer knows the pain. Windows has winget. macOS has brew. Ubuntu has apt. Arch has pacman. It's 2025 and we're still memorizing different commands for every platform.
The solution: omni install firefox — one command that works everywhere.
What we built: A single, focused package manager that wraps the native package managers on each platform. No bloat, no enterprise complexity, just working cross-platform package management.
# Build from source
git clone https://github.com/therealcoolnerd/omni.git
cd omni
cargo build --release
# The binary will be in target/release/omni# Instead of this platform chaos:
sudo apt install firefox # Linux
winget install Firefox # Windows
brew install firefox # macOS
# Just do this everywhere:
omni install firefox # Works on ALL platforms 🔥| Platform | Package Managers |
|---|---|
| Linux | apt, dnf, pacman, snap, flatpak, zypper, emerge, nix |
| macOS | homebrew, mas (App Store) |
| Windows | winget, chocolatey, scoop |
omni install <package> # Install a package
omni remove <package> # Remove a package
omni search <query> # Search for packages
omni list # List installed packages
omni update # Update packages
omni info <package> # Get package information# Detect server hardware and show configuration
omni hardware detect
# Auto-detect and install optimal drivers for mixed servers
omni hardware install
# Install vendor-specific drivers (Dell, HP, Supermicro, etc.)
omni hardware vendor <vendor-name># GUI interface (if compiled with --features gui)
omni gui
# SSH remote management (if compiled with --features ssh)
omni ssh <host> install <package>Omni excels in heterogeneous server environments where you need to manage different hardware vendors and configurations:
| Vendor | Drivers & Tools |
|---|---|
| Dell | dell-smbios, dcdbas, dell-wmi |
| HP/HPE | hpilo, hp-wmi, hp-health |
| Supermicro | ipmi_si, ipmi_devintf, supermicro-bmc |
| Lenovo | thinkpad-acpi, lenovo-wmi |
| Cisco UCS | cisco-ucs, cisco-enic |
# Mixed datacenter with different vendors
omni hardware detect # Identify all server hardware
omni hardware install # Install optimal drivers automatically
# Specific vendor environments
omni hardware vendor dell # Dell PowerEdge servers
omni hardware vendor hp # HP ProLiant servers
omni hardware vendor supermicro # Supermicro servers
# Network-attached storage and specialized hardware
omni install mellanox-drivers # High-speed networking
omni install nvidia-driver # GPU compute workloads
omni install intel-ethernet # Intel network adapters- Consistent tooling across different server vendors
- Automated driver detection for optimal performance
- Mixed cloud/on-premise deployments simplified
- Hardware vendor independence in your automation scripts
