        =========
        
        Simple symlink-based package manager for local installations (without sudo).
        Meant for Debian-based distributions: such as Debian / Ubuntu / Linux Mint and
        so on.
        
        This package is born out of the frustration of a typical grad student who has
        no admin-rights over the machine, and has to rely on the system-admin over and
        over for installation of that "X" package.
        
        Requirements
        ------------
        
        -  Debian-based OS or atleast ``dpkg`` installed
        -  GNU Stow: `HTTP <https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/stow/>`__ \|
           `FTP <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/stow/>`__ \|
           `Git <https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=stow>`__ \|
           `CPAN <https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Stow/bin/stow>`__
        
        If Stow is not available in the system you may use `this
        script <https://gist.github.com/ashwinvis/a533c210d1ba788479a3724558e4d873>`__
        to install it.
        
        Quick start
        -----------
        
        Install the package using **either** of the following commands
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            python setup.py install --user  # with the source code
            pip install apt-local --user  # without the source code
        
        Installing a ``.deb`` package is made as simple as:
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            usage: apt-local install [-h] pkg
        
            positional arguments:
              pkg
        
        For example ``apt-local install wget``.
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        To get started create a local directory where you would like the package
        to be installed. For example ``~/.local`` or
        ``<path-to-scratch-directory>/.local`` and a directory called
        ``apt-cache`` **under it** (very important!).
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            mkdir -p ~/.local/apt-cache
        
        Now change your current directory to ``apt-cache`` and install, for
        instance:
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            cd ~/.local/apt-cache
            apt-local install wget
        
        
        Make your installation useable by setting up environment variables such as
        ``PATH``, ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH``, ``CPATH`` etc. in the ``~/.profile`` or
        ``~/.bashrc``. The following snippet can be adapted:
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin
            export CPATH=$CPATH:$HOME/.local/include
            export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/.local/lib
            export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/.local/lib
