Packages are likely to collide and break and you'll end up with much greater mess than you've started with.See this excellent answer for more detail: (https://stackoverflow.com/a/10287263/7256341) Is there a pitfall of using multiple package managers?  A more feasible approach would be troubleshooting and resolving the issues you are having with apk . apk is designed for simplicity and speed, and should take very little getting used to. It is really an excellent package manager, IMO. For a good tutorial, I warmly recommend the apk introduction page at the Alpine Wiki site: (https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Alpine_Linux_package_management) https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Alpine_Linux_package_management  If you're determined not to use apk , and for the sake of experiment want try bringing up apt instead, as a first step, you'll have first to build apt from source: (https://github.com/Debian/apt) https://github.com/Debian/apt . Then, if it is produces a functional build (not likely since it's probably not compatible with musl libc), you'll have to wire it to some repositories, but Alpine repositories are only fit  for apk , not apt . As you can see, this is not really feasible, and not the route you want to go to.

Think of it this way - if things break in pip , Python may break, but if things go wrong in apk or apt , your entire Linux system may break. – (/users/7256341/valiano) (18,671 reputation) valiano  Commented (2018-11-21 08:36:49Z, License: CC BY-SA 4.0) Nov 21, 2018 at 8:36   (this comment was edited 3 times)        (number of 'useful comment' votes received) 4   @NotSoShabby or put in other words, pip is orthogonal to apk / apt - they are independent of each other. – (/users/7256341/valiano) (18,671 reputation) valiano  Commented (2018-11-21 10:28:03Z, License: CC BY-SA 4.0) Nov 21, 2018 at 10:28        (Use comments to ask for more information or suggest improvements.
