Quick Start

This chapter is intended for end users of Linyaps applications. After completing the steps below, you will be able to use ll-cli to search for, install, and run applications.

Prepare ll-cli

Some versions of deepin and UOS include ll-cli. First, check the installed version in a terminal:

ll-cli --version

If the command is not found, use the following one-line command for a quick installation:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenAtom-Linyaps/linyaps/master/install.sh | sh

The installer detects the current Linux distribution and requests sudo privileges when necessary. After installation, you can begin using Linyaps applications.

Application developers can use the following command to install the ll-builder build tool as well:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenAtom-Linyaps/linyaps/master/install.sh | sh -s -- full

If your distribution is not supported or you need to configure a repository manually, see Install Linyaps.

Install and Run an Application

Using the Calculator application as an example, first search for applications whose names contain calculator:

ll-cli search calculator

The search results contain output similar to:

ID                                         Name                             Version         Channel          Module      Repo      Description
...
org.deepin.calculator                      deepin-calculator                6.5.37.1        main             binary      stable    Calculator for UOS

The Calculator application ID is org.deepin.calculator. Install the application with that ID:

ll-cli install org.deepin.calculator

After installation finishes, run Calculator:

ll-cli run org.deepin.calculator

When the Calculator window appears, you have completed your first experience of installing and running a Linyaps application.
