DirectPackageInstaller is tool is designed to preview and send PKG files to your PS4 from direct links. It uses your GoldHEN payloader server, or alternatively the RemotePackageInstaller PS4 Homebrew.

How It Works

The DirectPackageInstaller is a tool that uses the API of the Remote Package Installer to add packages from URLs to your PS4 download queue, allowing you to preview the PKG that you're installing.

The tool also includes an automatic proxy server to improve the PS4’s typically slow WAN download speeds. When downloading from a LAN connection, the PS4 can achieve better speeds, and this tool helps facilitate that.

The DirectPackageInstaller can function without the Remote Package Installer. In this case, you just need to enable your binloader, and the tool will instruct how the package should be installed. If both the Bin Loader server and the Remote Package Installer are running, the tool will prioritize the Remote Package Installer.

One of the tool's features is the ability to install PKGs from RAR files. The tool works similarly to other existing ones but with the advantage of simultaneous operation. As the file is downloaded from the internet, it is decompressed to your disk temporarily and sent to your PS4, saving you time.

The tool also offers a Segmented Download mode, which starts a background multithreaded download of the PKG to your computer and sends it to your PS4 at the same time. This mode is faster than the Proxied Mode but requires allocating the PKG on your HD.

Please note that the Segmented Download is primarily downloaded on your PC, meaning the PS4 can’t show the real download progress and its remaining time.

If your PS4 has a LAN-Only connection, you can use the “Proxy Downloads” option. In this case, the DirectPackageInstaller will act as a bridge, allowing your PS4 to download your package from the internet.

For OSX Users

You must run the ./DirectPackageInstaller.Desktop file with help of the terminal
We have App builds as well, but isn't working very well right now, you can try: OSX x64 App or OSX ARM64 App.
The App Builds aren't working too well because of permissions problems, that can be easy solved by changing the paths of where the DirectPackageInstaller store his data, but the Auto-Update with the App container not works because the app can't modify himself.

Command Line Interface

The DirectPackageInstaller has an experimental CLI,
In his current state isn't possible push RAR/7z or do Segmented Dowloads yet.
For more details run DirectPackageInstaller.Desktop -help
Or if you're on windows: DirectPackageInstaller.Desktop.exe -help

Known Issues

• The DirectPackageInstaller don't handle well parallel decompressions, If you're downloading from a compressed file, try download one per time.
• Compressed file downloads generate a temporary PKG 'cache' on your hard drive, which will require free space according to the size of the PKG on your hard drive.

Q&A

• My download is taking a long time just to begin
  • Let me guess, Downloading multipart compressed files?
    

This will happen when the file is splitted in many volumes, how much more volumes it was,more time will take it. This slowdown is caused by the random access in the compressed files that are made to check if any part is missing. There's no way to fix this since isn't a bug at all, just a problem when someone try open compressed files remotely. Then... Just wait a bit more...

• My download speed is very slow even using segmented mode.
  • The segmented mode make the PS4 unaware of the real download progress, don't trust in the PS4 informations, for an real estimation of your download speed, check the network usage in your task manager.
• Segmented mode and just 2mbps of download speed?!
  • I noticied this problem during downloads from Zippyshare, but that isn't a problem of the DirectPackageInstaller, is just the zippyshare servers being slow or limited, who knows. If you want confirm by your self, I recommend upload an PKG to google drive and try install by yourself, since the google drive have a high download speed.
• What is the file hostings that you recommend?
  • Alldebird > Google Drive > Mediafire > Zippyshare > The whole universe > 1Fichier
    

This is the list of which hosts has best download performances.

• When I tries to install a insert your error here error happens
  • Create an issue! Just... Just Create! Serious, no one will bite you, if it was just a mistake there's no problem as well!
    

By the way, if is an crash the "DPI-Crash.log" will contains good informations about the error.
