How to install .apk on Alpine Linux like .deb in Debian using dpkg
Let's say you are trying to install glibc in Alpine
Download the packages into your current directory
wget "https://circle-artifacts.com/gh/andyshinn/alpine-pkg-glibc/6/artifacts/0/home/ubuntu/alpine-pkg-glibc/packages/x86_64/glibc-2.21-r2.apk"
wget "https://circle-artifacts.com/gh/andyshinn/alpine-pkg-glibc/6/artifacts/0/home/ubuntu/alpine-pkg-glibc/packages/x86_64/glibc-bin-2.21-r2.apk"
Then, use apk with --allow-untrusted
flag
apk add --allow-untrusted glibc-2.21-r2.apk glibc-bin-2.21-r2.apk
And finish the installation (only needed in this example)
/usr/glibc/usr/bin/ldconfig /lib /usr/glibc/usr/lib
