GNOME Circle App Installer

README.md

GNOME Circle App Installer

This script automates the installation of GNOME Circle apps on Ubuntu systems. It attempts to install apps using snap, flatpak, and apt in a non-interactive manner.

Features

• Installs GNOME Circle apps from snap, flatpak, and apt.
• Prioritizes flathub for Flatpak installations.
• Automatically tries the edge channel for missing Snaps (optional).
• Detects and skips already installed apps.
• Identifies and reports apps not found in any of the sources.

Usage

1. Save the script to a file (e.g., install_gnome_circle.sh).
2. Make it executable: chmod +x install_gnome_circle.sh
3. Run the script: ./install_gnome_circle.sh

Customization

• snap_apps array: Contains the list of Snap package names.
• flatpak_apps array: Contains pairs of Flatpak app IDs and names.
• apt_apps array: Contains the list of apt package names.

You can modify these arrays to include or exclude specific apps.

Notes

• Ensure that snapd and flatpak are installed on your system.
• The script prioritizes flathub for Flatpak installations.
• It automatically tries the edge channel for missing Snaps. You can disable this behavior by removing the --edge flag in the Snap installation section.
• The script skips apps that are already installed.
• It reports apps that are not found in any of the sources.

Disclaimer

• This script is provided as-is, without any warranty.
• Use it at your own risk.
• The availability of apps in different sources may vary depending on your Ubuntu version and the app developers.
