AppMan VS TermuxArch

I have been working on two CLI tools to install AppImage packages system wide and locall (they are AM and AppMan respectively). I've also written a website that acts as a catalog and a better source for downloading them all for real, https://portable-linux-apps.github.io !

I started writing AM/AppMan two years ago, it was just a custom script to install and always keep any Appimage package I needed updated to the latest version. Then become something much bigger.

AppMan, at https://github.com/ivan-hc/AppMan, a copy of "AM" but portable, it can install everything into a directory of your choice in your $HOME, no root privileges are required.

AppMan, a copy of AM but that allows you to choose where to install the apps in your HOME directory and without root access.

https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM-AppMan ("AppMan", local integration only).

Hi, I'm the developer of AM and AppMan (AppImage managers), the first time I've created an AppImage I was inspired from this video of DistroTube YouTube Channel:

AppMan itself is based on AM and uses additional lines in its script to convert the installation scripts from the database of "AM" to installation scripts that can work locally (without root privileges). If an application is not available for AM, that app is not available for AppMan.

"AM" Aplication Manager is not the only tool that can install your programs, it integrates them into the system by installing them in the /opt folder, but if you want these programs to be available only locally (ie without root privileges to install/remove them), I also created AppMan, which is able to meet this need of yours (it can convert all the scripts for "AM" to script that can install programs locally, into a folder named /$HOME/.opt.

appimage is a complete utility that can download and integrate AppImages locally (the way my AppMan utility can do, but better). It also allows selection if there are multiple items. I have tested it and solved some minimal issues about dependences and some errors I got, by doing the fork of this project, at https://github.com/ivan-hc/appimagedl, I've also included some additional instructions and customized the default directories managed by this script. You can also install it as a support tool trough "AM" (recommended) and AppMan (not recommended because both can use ~/.local/bin as a $PATH). To manage the updates is recommended to install appimageupdatetool (better if through one of my two tools);

pkg install git cd && git clone https://github.com/sdrausty/TermuxArch bash TermuxArch/setupTermuxArch.sh

So it said something about a gavorite folder or something so o somehow figured i should try it again on regullar Termux: ~ $ wget https://github.com/SDRausty/TermuxArch/raw/master/setupTermuxArch.bash && bash setupTermuxArch.bash --2022-02-25 22:19:21-- https://github.com/SDRausty/TermuxArch/raw/master/setupTermuxArch.bash Resolving github.com... 192.30.255.113 Connecting to github.com|192.30.255.113|:443... connected.

Libre Office should work as expected; these issues; https://github.com/SDRausty/termux-archlinux/issues/60 https://github.com/SDRausty/TermuxArch/issues/252 https://github.com/SDRausty/termux-archlinux/issues/60 https://github.com/TermuxArch/TermuxArch/issues/7 have more information.
