VXPM — The Vexon Package Manager

 

🚀 Introducing VXPM — The Vexon Package Manager Powered by Discord

The Vexon programming language has been growing rapidly as a creative, lightweight scripting platform for games, tools, and experiments. As the ecosystem grows, one major challenge appears:

How do we easily share and install Vexon .vx scripts?

That’s exactly where VXPM (Vexon Package Manager) comes in.

VXPM is a Discord-powered package manager that allows developers to publish, browse, and install .vx files instantly—right from the command line.

📦 What Is VXPM?

VXPM is a tool that:

• Connects to a Discord channel using a bot

• Reads .vx file attachments as packages

• Lets users list, install, and uninstall Vexon libraries instantly

• Installs packages directly into the same folder as your project

• Is distributed as a single Windows .exe file

In simple terms:

Upload a .vx file to Discord → Users can install it globally with one command.

No websites.
No ZIP files.
No manual downloads.

⚙️ How It Works

VXPM uses the Discord API to read messages from a dedicated package channel. Every .vx file uploaded to that channel automatically becomes a public package.

The Flow Looks Like This:

1. Developer uploads:

   mylibrary.vx
   

2. A user runs:

   vxpm> list
   

3. Then installs:

   vxpm> install mylibrary
   

4. The file is downloaded and saved instantly as:

   mylibrary.vx
   

That’s it. The package is now ready to be used inside any Vexon project.

🧠 Why Discord as a Package Server?

Using Discord as a package backend has powerful advantages:

✅ Free global hosting
✅ Instant updates
✅ Version control via message history
✅ permissions & access control
✅ No domain, no server costs
✅ Works behind firewalls & ISPs
✅ Easy moderation & package removal

Discord becomes your live app store for Vexon.

💻 VXPM Commands

Here’s what users can do with VXPM:

list            → Show all available packages
install <name>  → Download a package
uninstall <name>→ Remove a package
installed       → Show installed packages
exit            → Close VXPM

It’s simple by design — fast, clean, and powerful.

🔐 Security Upgrade: Python + EXE

Originally VXPM was prototyped in pure Vexon, but due to HTTP limitations, the system was upgraded to Python + EXE for:

• ✅ Secure bot authentication

• ✅ Access to private Discord channels

• ✅ Reliable downloads

• ✅ Better error handling

• ✅ Distribution as a real Windows program

• ✅ Custom icon + branding

Now VXPM runs as a real production-grade desktop tool.

🛠 How Developers Publish Packages

Publishing a Vexon package is incredibly simple:

1. Create your script:

   mystuff.vx
   

2. Upload it to the Discord package channel

3. Done ✅

Users instantly see it in:

vxpm> list

To update a package:

• Delete the old upload

• Upload the new version with the same filename

To remove a package:

• Delete the message

That’s your full package lifecycle.
