In their own words
Haxelib
Haxelib is the library manager included with Haxe distributions. It connects to a central repository for finding, installing, and sharing Haxe libraries on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with API access. The command line installs the latest release or a specified version, resolves dependencies from HXML files, and supports offline installation. Search matches project names or descriptions, while the info command displays ownership, licensing, descriptions, websites, tags, versions, and release notes. Developers can submit ZIP archives or directories, use Git or Mercurial repositories, and create local repositories from project files. Installed libraries can be exposed to the Haxe compiler with --library or -L. Haxelib can use an HTTP proxy or a custom server. Libraries are distributed as source by default. The public HaxeFoundation repository is MIT licensed, and community links include GitHub, bug reports, Stack Overflow, forums, Discord, and Gitter. All libraries are free.
