AppImageHub To "AM" (aih2AM)

A script to convert apps from AppImage.Github.io to installation scripts for "AM" Application Manager.

INSTALL

Use "AM" to install this script, run the command:

sudo am -i aih2am

UNINSTALL

With "AM":

sudo am -r aih2am

Without "AM":

sudo /opt/aih2am/remove

USAGE

aih2am convert $APPNAME

where $APPNAME is the name of the AppImage as it appear on the AppImage catalogue of AppImage.GitHub.io.

NOTE: this works only if the AppImage is hosted on GitHub.com.

For more alternative templates, see the -t option of the main project, ie "AM" Application Manager.

WARNING: This script supports multiple arguments, so be sure to enter "_" or "-" in the names as they appear on the catalog's page.

For AppImages not hosted on github.com

Replace the line 25 of the script, ie:

	wget -c $URL/templates/AM-SAMPLE-AppImage.GitHub.io -O $APP

with this line:

	wget -c $URL/templates/AM-SAMPLE-AppImage.GitHub.io-non-GitHub.com -O $APP

Once you have created the script, add manually the value of lines 12 and 14 (and optionally edit line 15).

TEST

All you have to test is the download of the AppImage. During the download you can always press CTRL+C to abort. Create a new empty folder and run the scripts there in a terminal window (the script will create a tmp and icons folder):

• if wget is downloadinding an AppImage, the script works as expected;
• if wget is not downloading what you need (maybe an AppImage for different architectures), then edit the created script (maybe the lines 28 and 54, or just the line 11) and try again.

This script is part of ivan-hc/AM-Application-Manager.
