Downloads Manager

Downloading

Install packages, dependencies, and tools in your workspace. Everything installs in the isolated environment—nothing touches your device.

Package Managers

Manager	Language	Command
npm	JavaScript/Node	npm install package
pip	Python	pip install package
apt	System packages	apt install package
cargo	Rust	cargo install package

The Safety Model

Traditional setup: packages install on your device with full system access.

ZYBER setup: packages install in the workspace VM. If a package is malicious, it can only affect the disposable workspace.

Risk	Traditional	ZYBER
Malicious post-install script	Runs on your device	Runs in workspace only
Supply chain attack	Compromises your system	Contained in workspace
Credential theft	Access to local creds	No access to your creds

Pre-installed Tools

Workspaces include common tools:

Category	Included
Runtimes	Node.js, Python, Go
Tools	Git, curl, wget, vim
Build	gcc, make, cmake

Installing Additional Tools

Use apt for system packages:

apt update && apt install package-name

Some packages require confirmation. AI agents can install packages if you've enabled auto-execute.

Version Management

For specific versions:

Manager	Version Syntax
npm	npm install package@version
pip	pip install package==version
apt	apt install package=version

Virtual Environments

For Python projects, create isolated environments:

python -m venv myenv
source myenv/bin/activate

Node projects use local node_modules by default.
