    Easily download AppImages and keep them up to date. Integrates with AppImageHub to get information about available AppImages. (by ivan-hc)

  • 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);

  • AM

    An "AUR-inspired" Database of AppImage packages and a CLI to manage/install/update them system-wide! This repo lists 1900+ standalone apps for GNU/Linux. You can extend it with custom repositories, create your own installation scripts and even build AppImages on the fly! "AM" Application Manager: Easy to use like APT and Powerful like PacMan!

  • AppMan

    Manage 1900+ AppImage packages and official standalone apps for GNU/Linux without root privileges using the extensible and ever-growing AUR-inspired database of "AM Application Manager". Easy to use like APT and powerful like PacMan.

  • upp instead is a simple and experimental script that can search (well) and download (quite badly) AppImages from the same sources. It is a simple bash script I've forked too, at https://github.com/ivan-hc/upp. It only needs more support and I see it as a good solution to implement AppImages from the main catalogue.

  • zap

    :zap: Delightful AppImage package manager (by srevinsaju)

  • NOTE: I don't know when and if to add new AppImages from the main catalog, also because a part of them is mostly broken and out of control. The AppImage packages compiled and managed by "AM"/AppMan are new AppImages that use scripts that also allow constant updating and recompilation from scratch, as if they were installed from AUR, using more reliable sources (official repositories for Debian and derivatives) . If you are interested more to the applications made available officially from the official AppImage.GitHub.io catalog, I suggest you to use Zap, Bread or the aforementioned Appimagedl. All these amazing utilities can be quickly installed via "AM" or AppMan.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
