Package Management System - Draft

📰 About the project

The Package Management System is a command line tool designed to manage packages stored as zip archives. It provides functionalities to install, uninstall, and reset packages, ensuring smooth package management operations.

How it works

1. Run the script main.cpp with appropriate commands to perform package management tasks. For example, packages-manager.exe install package_id installs a package (zip archive), packages-manager.exe uninstall package_id uninstalls a package, and packages-manager.exe reset resets the package storage.

2. The system manages package information stored in the pkgs.json file, which includes package IDs, URLs, and installation directories.
