$ sublime_text # would open it upOr if you want to spawn the app, you can
$ prts subime_text # would not blockMechanism

Todo & Cons
- Async processing
- Streaming download
- ProgressBar for download
- Version control
- More packages to include
- More testing
- Build/cache files division
- The implementation is very hack now

Why I Built this?
Sometimes I need to help friends install apps, in Windows. And what we have to do is always: visit a site, click a link, download sth, and then extract it or run a setup... Holy shit!
What if just a line of terminal command via homebrew, apt-get, etc?!
So I determined to bring such a package manager to Windows. But as you see, we have very few apps now. It's the very beginning.
