ℹ️ About The Project

This project is designed to make it easier to install any tools from GitHub that have an install.sh

🤔 Reason for creating this tool

In order to create a deb/snap package, you need to read a ton of documentation and spend a lot of time literally packaging a simple script 🥵

But there is another option to install the package using the installer (install.sh)

The installer is much easier to write, besides, this option is much more flexible and customizable ✨

Why "instOll" ?

[ɪnˈstɔːl]

This name comes from the word "install" with an Indian accent, as in cool YouTube programming guides from Indians 🙃

---

📥 Installation

Just run this command:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/instoll-sh/instoll/main/install.sh | bash

🚀 Usage

Installing the program

instoll <username>/<repo>

You can also use such a moniker:

instoll <username>.<repo>

Example of program installation from GitHub:

instoll hikariatama/Hikka

This command will download install.sh from the hikariatama/Hikka repo and execute it

---

You can also use the URL of the installer:

instoll https://useful-tool.com/install.sh

An example of installing Bun:

instoll https://bun.sh/install

Aliases will be added soon for an even easier installation 😏:

instoll bun

🛣️ Roadmap

• ⚡ Add the ability to use aliases for an even easier installation, for example install hikka or install dotload
