ujust

What is ujust?

Shell Scripts (.sh)|96x96, 100%

Technically ujust is not a package format, but are convenience commands that automate tasks using scripts which can be utilized to install specific software. There are also commands for system configuration and maintenance included here, so run ujust commands at your own risk. If an application is available to install via a ujust command but can also be obtained as a Flatpak, then it is recommended to use ujust command over installing the Flatpak version on Bazzite.

Using ujust

ujust command list|690x411

Open a host terminal and enter:

ujust

This will output a list of available commands.

ujust TUI|690x403

ujust --choose

This will show a terminal user interface of ujust commands that you can choose to execute with arrow keys or mouse input.

Attention

Commands that require values or flags do not function with this method.

Manually entering commands

Find the command you want to use and enter:

ujust <command>

You can search for specific commands by entering:

ujust | grep "<search keyword(s)>"
  • install-: Install program, there is no configuration or uninstall commands at this time
  • get-: Install an "extension" like Decky plugins, and if it is an extension then it can use get- too
  • setup-: Install program, provides uninstall and configuration options for after install
  • configure-: Configure something that came by default on the image
    • If it must be installed first, then it will be in setup-
  • toggle-: Turns something on/off
    • Selection might be automatic or manual depending on implementation
  • fix-: Fixes, patches or works around an issue
  • distrobox-: Distrobox exclusive verb for useful Distrobox stuff
  • foo: Replace this with whatever the command is called
    • These are shortcuts that we have deemed necessary to not have a verb
      • Examples: ujust update and ujust enroll-secureboot-key

View each ujust script's source code

If you would like to see what each script does for each command then open a host terminal and enter:

ujust --show <command>

Alternatively, you can find the ujust commands locally in:
/usr/share/ublue-os/just

Note

This directory also shows hidden ujust commands.

Uninstalling applications installed through ujust

Most applications installed via a ujust script would have to be uninstalled manually. Follow the instructions found on the project's website or README file in the source code to uninstall it properly.
