AppMan is a portable mode for non-sudo users.
This script allows you to choose where to install your applications into your $HOME directory. AppMan is also usable as a portable app (i.e. you can download and place it wherever you want) and it is able to update itself, anywhere.
This is free and open source software.
Features of the command line clients AM and AppMan include:
- Manage local AppImages – use the
--launcheroption to integrate your local AppImage packages by simply dragging and dropping them into the terminal. - Rollback – directly select from a list of URLs the version of the app that interests you most from the main source. Use the
--rollbackoption in this mode. This only works with the apps hosted on GitHub. - Sandbox using Firejail – use the
--firejailoption to run AppImages using a sandbox. - Snapshots: backup your app and restore to a previous version.
