[Search engine suggestions](#suggestions-for-search-engine)

## Installation
- Download the .deb package from [here](https://github.com/TudbuT/ept/releases/latest)
- Install it
- Run `sudo ept install ept` (for updating and setting up)

## IMPORTANT: Keep ept up-to-date!
You should run `ept install ept` from time to time!

Also: Whenever anything doesn't work, try full-updating too: `ept install ept ; ept update_list`

When even that doesn't help, reinstall ept using `apt remove ept` (Yes, apt!) and then reinstall it using the .deb file!

### Suggestions for search engine
- How to submit:
- PR of ept_applist.eptlist
- What to submit:
- You can submit any application you want, it is a good idea to go ahead and just submit any app you like!
- You should submit in this format, any submission which does not follow this format, gets ignored and deleted.
- `[newline]< application ID (for 'ept install ') >::< commands, the application adds >::< full name of the application >::< description of the application >::< tags (tag1 tag2 tag3) >::< installation type (__d__ for the default, __c__ for custom or {package manager} (will run '{package manager} install {app}') >::< [only if installation type is __c__[the installation command(s)]] >::< [only if installation type is __c__[the uninstallation command(s)]] >`
- NO newline at the end!!!
- Everything you want to submit must be tested - I don't want to get submissions that don't work, and if I have to test everything, even tho it doesn't work, that whould be pretty hard! So, please(!), submit working things!
- How to test: Copy your new list to /var (file name must be ept_applist.eptlist!).
