dub - Package and build management system for D

dub fetch <name> OPTIONS...

Note: Use the "dependencies" field in the package description file (e.g. dub.json) if you just want to use a certain package as a dependency, you don't have to explicitly fetch packages.

Explicit retrieval/removal of packages is only needed when you want to put packages to a place where several applications can share these. If you just have an dependency to a package, just add it to your dub.json, dub will do the rest for you.

Without specified options, placement/removal will default to a user wide shared location.

Complete applications can be retrieved and run easily by e.g.

$ dub fetch vibelog --cache=local

$ cd vibelog

$ dub

This will grab all needed dependencies and compile and run the application.

Note: DUB does not do a system installation of packages. Packages are instead only registered within DUB's internal ecosystem. Generation of native system packages/installers may be added later as a separate feature.

Use the specified version/branch instead of the latest available match The remove command also accepts "*" here as a wildcard to remove all versions of the package from the specified location
Deprecated option that does nothing

dub.sdl, dub.json
