apk-add(8)
# NAME
apk add - add packages to _world_ and commit changes
# SYNOPSIS
*apk add* [<_options_>...] _packages_...
# DESCRIPTION
*apk add* adds the requested packages to _world_ and installs (or upgrades)
them if not already present, ensuring all dependencies are met.
# OPTIONS
*apk add* supports the commit options described in *apk*(8), as well as the
following options:
*--initdb*
Initialize a new package database.
*-l, --latest*
Disables normal heuristics for choosing which repository to install a
package from, preferring only repositories from which the latest
version is available. This has no effect on pinned packages.
*-u, --upgrade*
When adding packages which are already installed, upgrade them rather
than considering the requirement fulfilled by the current installation.
*-t, --virtual* _NAME_
Instead of adding the specified packages to _world_, create a new
virtual package with the listed packages as its dependencies, then add
that package to _world_.
The packages requested are added as transitive dependencies of the
virtual package, and by deleting that package the *apk add* operation
may be easily reverted later.
*--no-chown*
Do not change file owner or group. By default apk will manage the file
ownership when running as root. However, this option is turned on when
running as non-root user, as changing file ownership is not permitted
by the system then.
