unin - by notchapplez

Now you may ask – what is unin?

→ And I have the answer:

unin is a simple, yet powerful, universal installer. I know you hate remembering all the commands for compiling projects in all the different languages.

So I made this. I thought of this in my sleep, and I'm glad I did.

unin has also a feature to self-update without having to manually copy the files and compile the code.

unin also moves all the release files to /usr/local/bin so they don't conflict with other executables in /usr/bin.

Note: unin is only supported on Linux, and is only tested on Arch Linux x64_86. Report bugs in the 'Issues' tab.

As of May 2026, unin supports the following languages/build systems:

Rust
CMake
Make
Go
Zig
Haskell (hella buggy)
gleam
configure
Meson

Syntax:

Command	Description
unin --setup <full(all the languages),rust,cmake,make,go,zig,swift,haskell,d,>	Setup languages system-wide
unin <"path"> (--noinstall)	Compile project at the given path, noinstall only compiles the binaries, doesn't move them
unin --clean <"path">	Clean the artefacts built
unin --uninstall <'package'>	Uninstalls a package (if it was added to the registry)
unin --queue-registry	Shows packages that are registered in the registry
unin --help	Shows the help menu

Installation:

There are three ways to install unin:

1. Using cargo. Run "cargo install unin-bin" in your terminal.

2. Precompiled binaries. Head to the "releases" page and download the latest release. Open a terminal and run "chmod +x unin" to make the file executable. After that, copy the file to /usr/local/bin usint the command "sudo cp <path_to_unin_executable> /usr/local/bin".

3. Compile from source code yourself. This requires rust to be installed. Clone the repository with "git clone https://github.com/notchapplez/unin". Change the directory to the cloned repository and run 'cargo run --release'. This will set up unin on your system. Ensure /usr/local/bin is set in PATH.

What I learned

I learned how to use BufReaders, how to make my code a bit cleaner, how to implement OOP in my program, that not every build system likes me, and that I love Rust.
