Apt-fast in Debian

Schnelle #Updates für #debian #linux mittels #Apt-fast #tutorial

use apt-fast with aria2c enhanced download manager

aria2 is a command-line download manager

apt-fast is a shell script wrapper that uses aria2 along with apt-get to speed up package manager downloads.

You can choose multiple mirrors to double or even triple+ your download speed.

Here's the basic setup. ~$

sudo apt-get install aria2 git clone https://github.com/ilikenwf/apt-fast.git cd apt-fast cp apt-fast /usr/bin/ chmod +x /usr/bin/apt-fast cp apt-fast.conf /etc

Now, edit /etc/apt-fast.conf and uncomment the line "DOWNLOADBEFORE=true" so that it doesn't prompt you every time.

You can also configure apt-fast to use aptitude or another download manager in this file.

Commands are the same as apt-get: ~$

sudo apt-fast install packagename

Speed Up apt-get Downloads With apt-fast [Ubuntu PPA]

Apt-fast is a script that can "drastically improve APT download speed" by using command line download accelerators such as Axel or Aria2 with multiple connections per package.

Features:

uses aria2 or axel, 2 great command line download tools to improve download speed, with multiple connections per package

supports both apt-get and aptitude

proxy support

supports most apt-get functions: install, upgrade, dist-upgrade, build-dep and so on

apt-fast only speeds up downloading the binaries, so even though 'apt-fast update' works, this command isn't ran using a download accelerator so the speed is the same as with apt-get. Support for the 'update' command is, however, planned for a future release.

Install apt-fast

Ubuntu users can install the latest stable apt-fast from its official PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apt-fast/stable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install apt-fast

When installing apt-fast in Ubuntu via its PPA, the package asks you if you want to use aptitude or apt-get, what download manager to use (axel or aria2c). aria2c is the download tool recommended by the apt-fast developers, mostly because it supports resuming downloads.

 Using apt-fast

apt-fast works the same as apt-get and all you have to do is use "sudo apt-fast install PACKAGE" instead of "apt-get" and so on for any operation.

 Install a package:

sudo apt-fast install PACKAGE

Upgrade packages:

sudo apt-fast upgrade

Install the build dependencies for a package:

sudo apt-fast build-dep PACKAGE

 Like I was saying, the commands are identical to apt-get and all you have to do is replace "apt-get" with "apt-fast". There's also a download command ("apt-fast download PACKAGE") which downloads the binary into the current directory.
