Mew is a Python-based CLI tool that translates package manager commands between Linux distributions, letting users run pacman-style commands on apt, dnf, zypper, or emerge systems. It maps command flags like query, install, and sync operations across distros via JSON data files.
Use cases
- translate pacman commands to apt on debian
- find the dnf equivalent of a zypper command
- run arch-style package commands on fedora
- look up package manager command equivalents across linux distros
- switch between distros without relearning package commands
When to choose
- you switch between multiple Linux distros and keep mixing up package manager syntax
- you know one package manager well and need quick equivalents on another
When to avoid
- you only use a single distro and already know its package manager
- you need a full package manager frontend rather than a command translator
- you need actively maintained tooling - the last release was in 2020
