Introduction

elementaryOS Post Install Tool (ePIT for short) is a fork of Fedy. It helps you install multimedia codecs and various additional software that elementary OS doesn't ship, like Steam, Spotify, Google Chrome, and much more.

Goal

ePIT aims to :

• Install any useful software that is missing in the AppCentre
• Install any tweak we believe should be enabled by default
• Install any software we believe should be installed by default

ePIT does not :

• Replaces the elementary OS AppCentre
• Install software that replace default elementary OS functionality

Plugin structure

Plugins can be placed under ~/.local/share/epit/plugins/, or the system plugins directory.

Each plugin is a directory with the suffix .plugin, which consist of a JSON formatted metadata file. The metadata file contains information about the plugin and describes how Fedy should run the tasks.

The plugins can run any command or scripts (bash, python etc.). In addition to the system commands, Fedy provides an additional command, run-as-root to allow running commands (e.g.- run-as-root touch /some/file/somewhere) or scripts (e.g.- run-as-root -s do-stuff.sh) as root.

Have a look at the existing plugins to know more about how to write plugins for Fedy.
