[juen]

Small new project. Command line app installer.

Req: internet! (or enabled bsdsocket.library on winuae)
Download: http://szajb.us/juenizer/a.lha

Easy installation:
1) extract archive (for example) to SYS:
2) Assign <>NIL: APP: SYS:App (and add this assign to startup-sequence on top)
3) run command from cli: execute app:app upgrade (this will update app, modify script flags, and copy app command to c

and now...

USAGE:
app install tanksfurry - tanksfurry is example packet name
app install tanksfurry play - for instant run!
app run tanksfurry - run if installed first
app addlib medplayer.library - get a library!
app clean - clean temporary data
app upgrade - upgrade APP to new version!
app list - list packets
app done - list downloaded and available for run packets
app search [game]
app search whdload
etc..

example:
app install asmone
- reqtools is required so it will be autodownloaded if you don't have!

app install benefactor play
- whdload is required so it will be autoinstalled if you don't have!

list of packets (app list - no need to do upgrade to see new packets!)

this is a really cool idea. just installed a game and demo. does work well.
with long filenames, it would be much more userfreindly, if you could just type in:
"execute app intro 1" instead of "execute app ocs_retro_intro_2016"

you could add an icon to the app mainfolder, since Apps is inside APP: so you have to set "show all" to enter the main folder.

#1) maybe you can do something with RequestChoice command to get some gui.
#2) just added an example for requestchoice

Sounds interesting, there is someone on amiga.org who is trying to create an apt-like program for aminet, if you're interested in collaborating with them.

i preffer cli comands, but front-end can write anyone later


---

of course idea is taken from apt, aptitude, yam... my scripts are not so powerfull but have a potential i think.. and app is working from start project started 2 days ago

should be working on any amiga with 2megs.. soon i will do some automatic script and add this way many intros/demos.. command "search" will by added, and listing by type (demo, game, util etc...)

and as always sorry for my poor english

ps: no need to type "execute" if you run first execute app:app upgrade, just: app install <packetname>

i thought so, and it is indeed suitable from cli, the way you did it

[juen]

magicmenu, xfdmaster, xadmaster, virusz and more added!

already tested on stock a600.

Hi Juen!

Nice tool you made there ! I'm trying to modify it for my own needs and would like to know if the "list" file on your server is just a text file or a php script. If it PHP, could you share the sources too ?

Thanks in advance

Best Regards

Renaud
