xstow

Extended replacement of GNU Stow

XStow (like GNU Stow) is a program for managing the installation of software packages, keeping them separate (/usr/local/stow/emacs vs. /usr/local/stow/perl, for example) while making them appear to be installed in the same place (/usr/local). The extended features include: creation of symlinks with absolute path names, traversal link support (create a link from /usr/share/man to /usr/man), multiple stow directories support, shell pattern matching, regular expressions support, and global settings via configuration files.

To install the latest version of xstow in your favorite operating system just copy the xstow installation command from above and paste it into terminal. It will download and install the latest version of xstow 2026 package in your OS.
