In a Nutshell

TINAPAMA, (TINAPAMA is Not A PAckage MAnager) wants to bring automated program installation on Classic Amiga. It supercedes AmiAutoUpdate, which had a different philosophy and was never completed. It's also different from AmiUpdate on AmigaOS 4 and EasyInstall on MorphOS by providing a simple command line and decentralised program descriptions. TINAPAMA allows updating programs individually or in groups, physically or remotely .

A typical use of TINAPAMA would be to execute the following command to update AmiModRadio to compare the local version of AmiModRadio with the one in Aminet and update it to the latest (if necessary).

Example Usage
