apt-fast: Improve apt-get Download Speed
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
**[apt-fast][1]** is a “**shell script wrapper**” for **apt-get** and **aptitude** that can drastically improve APT download times by downloading packages with multiple connections per package. apt-fast uses **aria2c** or **axel** download managers to speed up the APT download time. Just like the traditional apt-get package manager, apt-fast supports almost all apt-get functions such as **install, remove, update, upgrade, dist-upgrade** etc. And one more notable feature is it supports proxy too.
|
||
|
||
**Install apt-fast On Ubuntu**
|
||
|
||
Use the following PPA to install apt-fast. apt-fast developer says “**Some distros, such as PCLinuxOS include apt-fast in their default repos**”. I expect the same in Ubuntu/Debian default repositories.
|
||
|
||
To Add apt-fast PPA, enter the following command in Terminal.
|
||
|
||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apt-fast/stable
|
||
|
||
Update the sources list with command:
|
||
|
||
sudo apt-get update
|
||
|
||
Now install it using command:
|
||
|
||
sudo apt-get install apt-fast
|
||
|
||
During installation it will ask you to select the maximum number connections to download packages.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Select No and continue installation. If you select Yes, apt-get won’t ask you the confirmation during any package installation.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
I found **aria2** download manager has been installed along with apt-fast installation automatically. So you don’t have to install it separately.
|
||
|
||
If you want re-configure apt-fast options, you can do it using command:
|
||
|
||
sudo dpkg-reconfigure apt-fast
|
||
|
||
**Usage**
|
||
|
||
Similar to apt-get functions, we can use:
|
||
|
||
apt-fast install package
|
||
|
||
apt-fast remove package
|
||
|
||
apt-fast update
|
||
|
||
apt-fast upgrade
|
||
|
||
apt-fast dist-upgrade
|
||
|
||
and more.
|
||
|
||
apt-fast package manager in action:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
**Create alias (Optional)**
|
||
|
||
Edit **~/.bashrc** file and add the following line at the end.
|
||
|
||
alias apt-get='apt-fast'
|
||
|
||
Or simply run the following command to add it in your **~/.bashrc** file.
|
||
|
||
sudo echo "alias apt-get='apt-fast'" >> ~/.bashrc
|
||
|
||
From now whenever you run apt-get command to install, remove, update and upgrade packages, it will use apt-fast automatically in the background. Sounds cool? Yes it should.
|
||
|
||
During testing i found it very fast compared to apt-get when downloading packages. Give it a try, you will agree with me. Cheers!!
