# koji-install

A CLI tool to download and install rpms from a Koji build or task.

[Koji](https://pagure.io/koji/) is a RPM package buildsystem used by
Fedora, CentOS, and some other projects.

By default it only downloads binaries of already-installed subpackages,
but there are options to list and select or exclude specific subpackages.

Note koji-install is intended for development and testing purposes
and should not be necessary/used normally on production systems,
but it can be very helpful for quickly testing an specific package build or
update.

## Usage

By default it uses Fedora Koji.

```
$ koji-install podman
```
will download the latest build for your Fedora version,
and try to install it.
Use `--disttag` suffix to select a different Fedora version.

```
$ koji-install TASKID --exclude "*-devel"
```
will install all the non-devel subpackages from the task.

One can use `--hub` to specify a different Koji hub build service.

### Selecting subpackages

By default only installed subpackages are downloaded and updated,
but the following options change the behavior:

`--package`: select subpackages by name or glob pattern (this doesn't work currently on multiple builds/tasks)

`--exclude`: exclude subpackages by name or glob pattern

`--all`: install all subpackages

`--ask`: ask about each subpackage

### Help
```shellsession
$ koji-install --help
Download and install latest package build from Koji tag.
