+## Use AM locally like AppMan does
+Since version 4.3.3-1 the new `--user` option allows you to create an alias to install and manage apps in your $HOME folder. When executing the `am --user` command you will be suggested an alias to use temporarily or if you want you can add it in your ~/.bashrc to make it permanent. "AppMan" will be used while still using the usual `am` command.
+
+This is a minor update for those who want to use the `am` command to install applications locally and who were not aware of AppMan, the AM clone.
+
+The new option does not immediately enable "AppMan Mode", instead it will show you an alias to use temporarily in the current session or to add to your ~/.bashrc to make it permanent:
+```
+alias am=/opt/am/appman
+```
+AppMan is downloaded to the AM's installation folder, but without affecting the existing installation.
