Zap is very helpful for keeping track of your Appimages, & placing a menu entry for the app. Some of the Nostr apps have other formats, but don't offer an official project repos to add to your system, such as a PPA. This makes it hard to track new releases. Zap can help you track the new releases and easly update accordingly. To install Zap: 1. Grab zap from GitHub & place it in /usr/local/bin to make it accessible to everyone: ``` sudo wget https://github.com/srevinsaju/zap/releases/download/continuous/zap-amd64 -O /usr/local/bin/zap ``` 2. Next make it executable: ``` sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/zap ``` 3. Watch this 👉video to see how zap works: To install from an app's official GitHub page type: zap install --github --from GitHubUsername/GithubProjectName For example, to install Amethyst you would type: zap install --github --from vitorpamplona/amethyst To list available Appimages that can be found through zap type: 1. zap search 2. Then type to filter. Search may be case sensitive. To install an Appimage found using zap search type: zap install app_name Example: zap install Firefox To list the Appimages installed using Zap, type: zap list To update an Appimage, type: zap update <app_name> #Appimage #ZapAppimage #Linux #LinuxPhones #Zap
