The CLI provides the same installer behavior for terminal users.\n\n## What It Installs\n\nThe installer extracts a `.tar.gz` archive, looks for a runnable file such as `AppRun`, a matching executable, or a binary in `bin/`, then creates:\n\n- an application folder\n- a launcher script\n- a `.desktop` menu entry\n- a local command symlink when possible\n\nIf no executable is found, the archive is still installed. Its launcher opens the installed folder with `xdg-open` so the user can access the files without the installer guessing which file is safe to run.\n\nUser installs do not need a password and go into `~/.local`. System installs use `pkexec` or `sudo` and may ask for your password.\n\n## Install From GitHub\n\nClone the repository, then choose what to install:\n\n```sh\n./scripts/install.sh --gui\n./scripts/install.sh --cli\n./scripts/install.sh --both\n```\n\nBy default, files are installed for the current user. To install system-wide:\n\n```sh\n./scripts/install.sh --both --system\n```\n\nThe GUI uses Fyne. On some distributions you may need the standard desktop development packages required by Fyne before building.\n\n## Use The GUI\n\nOpen **Tar.gz Installer** from your application menu, drag a `.tar.gz` file into the window, choose user or system install, then click install.\n\n## Use The CLI\n\n```sh\ntargz-installer install ~/Downloads/example.tar.gz\ntargz-installer install ~/Downloads/example.tar.gz --system\ntargz-installer install ~/Downloads/example.tar.gz --name example-app\n```\n\n## Uninstall This Tool\n\n```sh\n./scripts/uninstall.sh --gui\n./scripts/uninstall.sh --cli\n./scripts/uninstall.sh --both\n```\n\nFor system-wide removal:\n\n```sh\n./scripts/uninstall.sh --both --system\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fchintanpatel24%2F.ter.gz-installer","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fchintanpatel24%2F.ter.gz-installer","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fchintanpatel24%2F.ter.gz-installer/lists"}
