Package Installator

Package Installator empowers WordPress administrators to manage system-level packages, such as PHP extensions, directly from the WordPress admin dashboard. It features a modern, React-based interface with a searchable table, animated progress bars, and detailed command output for installing and uninstalling packages via SSH.

Key Features

• Modern UI: React-based interface with search functionality and animated progress bars.
• Package Management: Install or uninstall packages like php-xml, php-mbstring, php-curl, and more.
• SSH Integration: Secure SSH connections using private key or password authentication.
• Real-time Feedback: AJAX updates for package status, progress, and detailed command logs.
• Expandable Logs: View raw command output for each package operation.
• SSH Status: Visual indicators for SSH connection status on both settings and package manager pages.
  Important Note: Currently compatible only with Debian-based distributions (e.g., Debian, Ubuntu) using apt. Future versions will support other Linux distributions (Red Hat, Fedora, Arch, etc.) with tools like yum, dnf, and pacman.
  Warning: This plugin executes system commands via SSH, which can impact your server. Ensure proper SSH configuration and test on a staging environment.
