PPM Hero Light

​
Welcome to PPM

PPM (Polyglot Package Manager) is a revolutionary tool that simplifies dependency management for modern polyglot applications. Instead of juggling multiple package managers, PPM provides a unified interface for JavaScript and Python dependencies.

​
Why PPM?

Unified Dependencies

Manage npm and pip packages from a single project.toml file

Instant Setup

Go from git clone to running application in just 2 commands

Environment Management

Automatic Python virtual environments and Node.js version handling

Cross-Platform

Works seamlessly on Windows, macOS, and Linux

​
The Problem PPM Solves

Modern applications often use multiple programming languages:
  • Frontend: React, Vue, or Angular (JavaScript/TypeScript)
  • Backend: Flask, Django, or FastAPI (Python)
  • Data Processing: NumPy, Pandas (Python)
  • Build Tools: Webpack, Vite (JavaScript)
Managing dependencies across these ecosystems is complex and time-consuming: 
# Frontend setup
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev

# Backend setup (separate terminal)
cd ../backend
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py

​

name = "my-app"
version = "1.0.0"

[dependencies.js]
react = "^18.2.0"
axios = "^1.6.0"

[dependencies.python]
flask = "^3.0.0"
numpy = "^1.24.0"
