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.
To upgrade individual packages without modifying _world_ use *apk-fix*(8).
By default *apk* tries to select a set of packages so that all dependencies
are satisfied. This means that some packages can be held back in an older
version if there is direct or implicit dependencies to the older version.
# 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*
Always choose the latest package by version. However, the versions
considered are based on the package pinning. Primarily this overrides
the default heuristic and will cause an error to displayed if all
dependencies cannot be satisfied.
*-u, --upgrade*
Upgrade _packages_ and it's dependencies. Normally *apk add* will
avoid changing installed package unless it is required by the newly
added _packages_ or their dependencies. This changes the default
preference to upgrading the package to the latest installable version.
*-t, --virtual* _NAME_
Create virtual package _NAME_ with given dependencies. This new package
will get the _packages_ as dependencies instead of _world_. Finally the
_NAME_ is added to _world_.
One can use this to ensure that selected set of packages are installed,
and later the temporary modification be undone with *apk-del*(8) _NAME_
without removing packages that were installed earlier.
*--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.
