So, taking one for the team (you guys) I went ahead and double clicked. I didn’t want to bork my system or install some malware, so before installing it I did do a quick Google and it appears to be legit (as tacky as the website background is). I presumed this would run some sort of magical script. I tested out Ninite just now by going to the site and checking Google Chrome, Transmission, and Thunderbird. It contained a bunch of apt-get install commands to make it just a little bit easier. Traditionally I’ve just manually installed everything I need after a fresh install, and for a while, I had a simple script that I would run. It will also apparently “add the proper APT repositories and keys and then install the apps for you.” deb for you to download and then installs all of the applications you checked. That’s right, us!īut, it’s not all fresh roses – I delved deeper into the mystery that is Ninite, surely something as good as this can’t be true? Reader Heiner Valverde dropped us a handy hint today in the OMG! inbox: Ninite, a website that provides an easy way to install multiple applications after a fresh install, has released a beta version for Linux users.
If you’re going to read this post, I suggest you also read this post here afterwards.
