Install a Novius OS application

Where to find apps

Novius OS’ GitHub account is a good place to start.

Check out the contributors’ page on Novius OS website for applications from the community.

You could also go straight to Fumito Mizuno and Novius Agency’s GitHub accounts which feature many apps.

Install a new application

2 solutions are available: using Git or a .zip file.

1st method : using Git

On GitHub, copy the repository URL:

../_images/download_git.png

Then, clone the repository in the /local/applications/ directory.

cd local/applications
git clone REPOSITORY_URL

Lastly, don’t forget to activate the application in the applications manager.

2nd method: using a .zip file

On GitHub, download the application as a .zip file:

../_images/download_zip.png

Unzip the downloaded archive in the /local/applications/ directory.

Rename the created directory in order to delete the branch name (which is automatically added by GitHub). For example, you will rename novius_ftplite-master-elche into novius_ftplite only.

Lastly, don’t forget to activate the application in the applications manager.

Warning

Don’t modify the actual files inside the application you just downloaded, or you won’t be able to update it later! Please use the extensions mechanisms in order to change how it behaves.

Activate an application

Open the applications manager (from the desktop) :

../_images/app_manager_launcher.png

Clic on « Install » next to the name of your application.

../_images/activate_app.png

Update an application

1st method: using Git

Go into the directory containing your application, and update the repository in the desired version:

cd local/applications/novius_ftplite
git fetch
git checkout master/elche

Then, go in the applications manager to « Apply changes ».

2ns method: from a .zip file

Note

Before updating an application, check that your (potential) specific developmens are compatibles.

On GitHub, download the new version of the application as a .zip file.

Then, replace the corresponding directory in local/applications (you can delete the old one to put the new one).

As when installing, don’t forget to rename the directory in order to delete the branch name (which is automatically added by GitHub).

Then, go in the applications manager to « Apply changes ».
