      I have a similar one but I did it this way:

      
function ins {
  PACKAGE="${1}"
  exists() {
    command -v "$1" >/dev/null 2>&1
  }

  if exists dnf; then #Fedora
    sudo dnf update && sudo dnf install -y $PACKAGE
  elif exists apt; then #Debian
    sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y $PACKAGE
  elif exists apk; then #Alpine
    apk -U upgrade && apk add $PACKAGE
  elif exists emerge; then #Gentoo
    sudo emerge $PACKAGE
  elif exists zypper; then #Suse
    sudo zypper ref && sudo zypper install $PACKAGE
  elif exists pacman; then #Arch
    pacman -S $PACKAGE
  elif exists brew; then #MacOS
    brew install $PACKAGE
  else
    echo "Error can't install package $PACKAGE. No package manager is detected."
    exit 1;
  fi
}
