ZeroInstall-Injector - decentralised installation system
Published by Thomas Leonard
- Overview
This is a Zero Install feed. To add this program to your Applications menu, choose Zero Install -> Add New Program from the Applications menu. e.g. on Ubuntu:
If you don't see this menu item, install the zeroinstall-injector package from your distribution's repository, or from 0install.net.
Drag the feed's URL to the dialog box that appears. Other environments may use other systems. For example, if you are a ROX desktop user, drag the link to AddApp instead.
Alternatively, to run it from the command-line:
$ 0launch http://0install.net/2007/interfaces/ZeroInstall.xml
The 0alias command can be used to create a short-cut to run it again later.
If you don't have the 0launch command, download it from the 0install.net web-site, which also contains documentation about how the Zero Install system works.
- Full name
- Description
Zero Install is a cross-platform, decentralised installation system. Instead of having a central repository in which all software is placed under a naming scheme managed by some central authority, programs and libraries in Zero Install are identified by URIs. Anyone who can create a web-page can publish software. Anyone can install software (not just root). Conceptually, you can imagine that the software is 'installed' only on a remote machine and that you are simply running it (on your own machine) using a network filesystem. Caching makes this fast and allows off-line use. The cache is indexed using a cryptographic hash, allowing it to be shared between mutually untrusting users automatically. Zero Install resolves dependencies (such as libraries) on a per-program basis, which eliminates conflicts. You will never be told that installing one program requires first uninstalling another.
