RuckZuck

RuckZuck is a Windows package manager for installing and updating applications from its repository. Its portable graphical tool, RuckZuck.exe, handles those tasks, while RZGet offers command-line installation, updates, search, metadata display, and uninstall operations. It can also find and update software that was installed by other means. The repository generally points to software downloads rather than storing the binaries, and using RuckZuck does not provide a license for installed software. A dedicated RZ for Intune tool is listed, while the Configuration Manager integration and OneGet provider are described as deprecated. Users can host a server for private or disconnected repositories that do not sync with the public repository. Public API limits are 5 getsoftwares requests per minute and 20 checkforupdate requests per minute. The download requirements include.NET Framework 4.8 and PowerShell 5, and the project says it is mainly tested on Windows 11 x64. RuckZuck remains free for private use with sponsor support.
