Apps is a small app installer and launcher for the Kano OS. It downloads apps from Kano World and installs them on your system. Being focused on ease of use, it colour codes each application and may provide custom icons for some.

The applications are divided into several categories in the directory:

• Code,
• Games,
• Media,
• Others,
• Tools,
• and Experimental.

The program is written entirely in Python using GTK 3.12 via the gi bindings.

It also reads the desktop entries from /usr/share/applications/ and displays them on the Others pane.

To install Apps on your system, get the kano-apps from our package repository:

sudo apt-get install kano-apps

If not on Kano OS, you might need to add our repo to your sources list:

deb http://repo.kano.me/archive/ release main

This project doesn't require any compiling to run, just clone the repo and run the main script:

git clone git@github.com:KanoComputing/kano-apps.git
cd kano-apps/bin
./kano-apps
