# Kano Apps
**Apps** is a small app installer and launcher for the **Kano OS**. It
downloads apps from [Kano World](http://world.kano.me/apps) 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](https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/GObjectIntrospection) bindings.
It also reads the desktop entries from `/usr/share/applications/` and displays
them on the **Others** pane.
## Installation
To install **Apps** on your system, get the **kano-apps** from our package
repository:
```bash
sudo apt-get install kano-apps
```
If not on **Kano OS**, you might need to add our repo to your sources list:
```bash
deb http://repo.kano.me/archive/ release main
```
## Testing
This project doesn't require any compiling to run, just clone the repo and run
the main script:
```bash
git clone git@github.com:KanoComputing/kano-apps.git
cd kano-apps/bin
./kano-apps
```
