Zero Install is a decentralized cross-platform software-installation system available under the LGPL. It allows software developers to publish programs directly from their own web-sites, while supporting features familiar from centralized distribution repositories such as shared libraries, automatic updates and digital signatures. It is intended to complement, rather than replace, the operating system's package management. 0install packages never interfere with those provided by the distribution.
Features:
- Run apps with a single click or control every detail
- Control everything from a graphical interface or the command-line
- Synchronize your installed applications to other computers
- Get apps from any server, no central repository required
- Secure by design: GnuPG signatures and SHA-256 hashes
- No side effects, no library conflicts, use multiple versions in parallel
Runs Windows Vista or newer.
Supports Windows XP if .NET Framework is installed.
