Getting Started / Quick Start

Quick Start

From zero to a working toolkit in under a minute. Three steps: install DPM, find your tools, apply them.

1

Install DPM

Run the install script. It downloads the dpm and dpm-tui binaries and adds them to your PATH.

sh
curl -sL https://dpm.fi/install.sh | sh

Open a new shell after the script finishes, then verify:

dpm --version dpm v0.6.1
2

Find your tools

Search the catalog by name or keyword:

sh
dpm -s nmap nmap 7.95 Network mapper — port scanner, service detection, NSE scripts

Or open the TUI to browse everything interactively:

dpm

In the TUI, use TAB to switch between Profiles, Tools, Installed, Dotfiles, and Bubble tabs. Press / to search across everything at once.

3

Install a tool or apply a profile

Install a single tool by name:

sh
dpm -i nmap ✓ installed nmap 7.95

Or apply a full profile by course code to install an entire toolkit at once:

dpm -a ICI012AS3A ✓ applied profile ICI012AS3A (10 tools)

In the TUI, press SPACE on any tool to add it to the cart, then ENTER on the cart bar to install all selected items at once.
