raiku cache gives you visibility into and control over the local package store that Raiku maintains on disk. All packages installed by Raiku live under ~/.raiku/cache/ in a structured directory tree — raiku cache --info lets you see how much space they occupy, while raiku cache --clear wipes the entire store so you can start fresh. The cache path can be customised with raiku config set cache_dir.

​
Usage

raiku cache --info
raiku cache --clear [--yes]

​
Flags

FlagShortDescription
--infoShow the cache path, installed package count, and total disk usage.
--clearRemove the entire cache (prompts for confirmation unless --yes is set).
--yes-ySkip the confirmation prompt when using --clear.

​
Cache directory structure

Raiku organises every cached package under a three-level hierarchy: 
~/.raiku/cache/
└── <Language>/
    └── <package-name>/
        └── <version>/
            ├── raiku.toml     # Package manifest (hash-verified on install)
            ├── version.yml    # Version metadata
            ├── README.md      # Package documentation
            ├── meta.json      # Raiku sidecar (name, version, sha256, …)
            └── src/           # Source files
This layout makes it straightforward to have multiple versions of the same package on disk simultaneously — useful for raiku rollback and for side-by-side testing.

Sample output of raiku cache --info

╭─────── Cache Info ────────╮
│  Cache directory    /home/user/.raiku/cache  │

│  Total disk usage   142.7 MB                 │

Sample output of raiku cache --clear

  This will remove 23 package(s) (142.7 MB) from /home/user/.raiku/cache
? Wipe the entire cache? [y/N]: y
✓ Cache cleared.
raiku cache --clear permanently removes all installed packages. There is no undo. After clearing, you will need to reinstall each package with raiku install or restore the full environment from a lock file using raiku from-lock.
Before clearing the cache, export your current environment first so you can restore it in one command:
raiku export --output requirements.raiku
raiku cache --clear --yes
# ... later ...
raiku import --file requirements.raiku
raiku cache --clear removes installed packages but does not delete your configuration (~/.raiku/config.toml), trust list (~/.raiku/trusted.json), pin list (~/.raiku/pins.json), or the synced index (~/.raiku/index.json).
