dpm profiles

Profiles let you install a full tool set with one command.

What is a profile?

A profile is a named list of tools, with optional version rules and dotfiles. Profiles can have a short code like ICI012AS3A.

DPM ships with built-in local profiles. Community profiles are found with community search and should always be inspected first.

CLI usage

        dpm apply <profile-id | search-number>
        # short alias
        dpm -a <profile-id | search-number>
      

Pass the profile ID directly, or use a number from a previous dpm search --profiles result:

        dpm -a ICI012AS3A
        ✓  applied profile ICI012AS3A (14 tools)
        dpm -s --profiles pentest
        1  ICI012AS3A   Intro to pentesting, 14 tools
        dpm -a 1
        # applies ICI012AS3A from last search
      

Tools already installed at the correct version are skipped. Only missing or outdated tools are installed.

TUI: Profiles tab

Open the Profiles tab with TAB. Profiles display their name, category, and tool count. An installed badge appears if all tools in the profile are already present.

Press ENTER on a profile to open its detail view: name, category, description, course code, version, full tool list, and associated dotfiles.
Press ENTER again in the detail view to apply the profile.
Press SPACE to add a profile to the cart for batch application alongside other items.
Press ESC to return to the profile list.

Listing available profiles

        dpm -s --profiles --all
        # list all local profiles
        dpm -s --community --all
        # list all community profiles
      

In the TUI, the Profiles tab shows local profiles. Community discovery is done with CLI search and inspect commands.
