petget +/root/downloads/example.pet to install
use absolute path in command when installing.
petget -example to uninstall

works with .pet,.deb,.tgz, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, and .txz on newest woof built puppies.

. If the petget command fails, use:
/usr/local/petget/installpkg.sh /root/downloads/example.pet

That works,but because i'm doing this on startup (i can't start X) i can't view gtk dialog and apply installation.
How can i skip that step?

I tested this method in spup40 with no X and it worked:

/usr/local/petget/installpkg.sh /root/downloads/example.pet

The full path for installpkg.sh is necessary. The petget command fails with gtk dialog error when installing but works when uninstalling in the no X environment.
