Revision as of 02:24, 16 June 2025

A PC tool that lets you preview and send PKG files to your PS4 from direct links. It uses the API of the Remote Package Installer to add packages from URLs to your PS4 download queue. The tool also includes an automatic proxy server to improve the PS4's typically slow WAN download speeds.

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 are running, the tool will prioritize the Remote Package Installer.

One of the tool's features is the ability to install PKGs from compressed files (rar,7z). As the file is downloaded, it is decompressed to your disk temporarily and sent to your PS4.

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. It's the fastest method but the PS4 won't be able to show the real download progress and its remaining time.

Author's note: This program was made for legitimate purposes, you can use it only for download the your backups that you saved in cloud, and for that reason I condemn and do not support any kind of piracy. I'm not responsible for what you do with this tool, like, you know very well what you're doing.

Go to "Options" > "Proxy Downloads" and check the option.
Put the direct PKG URL in the "PKG URL" field.

Segmented download mode

(Fastest, but the PS4 cannot track download progress accurately.)

Make sure you have enough free disk space.

Open the DirectPackageInstaller.
Go to "Options" > "Segmented Downloads" and check the option.
Put the direct PKG URL in the "PKG URL" field.

The PKG will be downloaded and preloaded before installation.

Download from compressed files

Click at "Load" and wait.
(Optional) Select the correct PKG in the file list.

macOS CLI usage

Use the terminal to run the app:

./DirectPackageInstaller.Desktop

In some cases, you may need to run:

dotnet DirectPackageInstaller.Desktop.dll

Windows - DirectPackageInstaller.Desktop -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.
