PS4 Package Manager

Terminal UI package installer for jailbroken PS4 systems using Remote Package Installer.

It scans a local PKG directory, groups games, detects main/update/DLC packages, starts a local HTTP server, and sends direct install URLs to the PS4.

Features

• TUI game browser with onboarding screen
• Automatic PKG scan and game grouping
• Main/update/DLC detection
• Embedded range-capable HTTP server (no Python server script required)
• PS4 API integration for install and progress polling
• URL preflight checks before install
• Resume of recent install task when possible

Requirements

• Linux
• Rust toolchain (stable)
• Jailbroken PS4 with GoldHEN
• Remote Package Installer running on PS4
• PS4 and this machine on the same LAN
