A fast, declarative, and extensible package manager for Kotlin. Inspired by NPM, Yarn, and Nix, KPM simplifies dependency management and reproducible builds in Kotlin projects.

The following commands have been implemented:

• init: Initialize a new KPM project using the base template.
• install: Apply the kpm.json file to the current project, installing dependencies and generating a kpm-lock.json file.
• build: Build the KPM project defined in the manifest file.
• gc: Clean up unused dependencies.
• version: Display the current version of KPM, Java, and Kotlin.
• --help: Show help information for KPM commands.

Add an environment variable named KOTLIN_HOME pointing to the directory where Kotlin is installed.

Examples (Windows):

• C:\Program Files\Kotlin\bin is not valid,
• C:\Program Files\Kotlin\lib is not valid,
• C:\Program Files\Kotlin is valid.

Dependencies are managed through the kpm.json manifest file in your project root. Each dependency is specified using Maven coordinates in the following format:

"group:artifact:version"

Example kpm.json file:

{
  "name": "my-kotlin-app",
  "version": "1.0",
  "main": "com.example.app.AppKt",
  "dependencies": [
    "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.8.0",
    "com.example:my-library:1.0.0"
  ]
}
