Online Package Manager (OPM) is a tool that automates the process of installing, upgrading, configuring Lazarus packages. #Lazarus #LCL #components

The packages are stored in the main repository(see repository column) as zip files, along with a JSON file. #Lazarus #LCL #components

The JSON contains all necessary information about the packages. On request the packages are downloaded/extracted/compiled/installed into the IDE. If available, it's also possible to update a previously installed package from the maintainer webpage(see update column). There's also a web version of the Lazarus Packages Repository available here: http://packages.lazarus-ide.org/
Online package manager is part of Lazarus sources, in directory ($LazarusDir)/components/onlinepackagemanager #Lazarus #LCL #components
