Description

Introducing a decentralized software installation framework that operates seamlessly across Linux, Windows, and macOS platforms. This fully open-source solution allows users to launch applications with just a single click, enabling them to run programs without the need for prior installation. Users can manage all operations through either a command line or a graphical interface, ensuring complete control over their computing experience. The installation process is transparent, eliminating the uncertainty typically associated with software deployment. It supports the combination of both stable and experimental applications on a single system, fostering a versatile software environment. Anyone has the capability to distribute software, empowering developers to create a single package that functions across various platforms. This system allows publishing on any static web host, establishing a decentralized ecosystem devoid of any central authority. Moreover, it features robust dependency management and automatic updates, prioritizing security at every step. Installing an application does not bestow it with administrator privileges, and digital signatures are meticulously verified before any new software is executed. Applications can share libraries while maintaining a level of trust, which enhances security. This framework also introduces automatic self-updating mechanisms, staged rollouts, and numerous enhancements for desktop integration, thereby enriching the overall user experience. With such features, it redefines the way users interact with software on their devices.

Description

FPM is a versatile tool designed to simplify the process of creating packages for various operating systems, including Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, Arch Linux, FreeBSD, and macOS, among others. Rather than introducing a new packaging methodology, FPM serves as a facilitator, streamlining the creation of packages for existing systems with minimal effort. This is achieved through its user-friendly command-line interface, which enables users to generate packages with ease. Developed in Ruby, FPM can be installed via the gem package manager. However, for certain package formats, such as RPM and Snap, specific dependencies must be present on your machine to successfully build them. Additionally, when packaging for different operating systems or distributions, you may need to install other tools to ensure compatibility. FPM effectively transforms your software into easily installable packages across multiple platforms, capable of converting any Node.js package, Ruby gem, or Python package into formats like deb, rpm, or pacman. With FPM, the packaging process becomes significantly more efficient, saving developers both time and effort.
