"AM" 5.6

New "test" option, perhaps the one you were waiting for the most!

After creating your scripts with the -t or template option, have you ever wondered what it would be like to install the script using "AM" or AppMan?

Here is the test option, it is an extract of the -i or install option which instead of pointing to this repository, allows you to choose the path to a local file, even just by dragging the script into the terminal.

Patches are selected and applied depending on whether you use "AM" or "AppMan", just like a normal installation would.

USAGE:

am test /path/to/your-script

or just drag and drop the the script in the terminal, like this:

AM-5.6-option-test-usage.mp4

To remove the app, use the option -R, as always.

NOTE, I would like to point out that this option, being designed for testing purposes:

• works with one script at a time;
• the output does not use less -E, so you will see all unpatched messages, as you would with the dev option (previous release, 5.5);
• it is meant to work only with AM scripts that you can get using the -t option, be careful not to use different scripts, I have not made any security measures in this regard (yet).

You can consult the code of this commit for more information:

Or stay up to date by following the "AM"/AppMan update history:

I hope this option can be a turning point in making you participate in the development of "AM"/Appman and the growth of the database, which today has reached 1855 installation scripts for the x86_64 architecture.
