This repository creates and distributes the unofficial, enhanced AppImage version of Celestia, the 3D space visualizer, including new and more detailed maps of planets and moons from https://commons.wikimedia.org and https://www.solarsystemscope.com
From here you can download the scripts to build on top of JuNest, the lightweight Arch Linux based distro that runs, without root privileges, on top of any other Linux distro.
To improve it, extract the AppImage using the option --appimage-extract and follow the instructions here.
I wrote two bash scripts to install and manage the applications: AM and AppMan. Their dual existence is based on the needs of the end user.
| "AM" Application Manager |
|---|
If you want to install system-wide applications on your GNU/Linux distribution in a way that is compatible with Linux Standard Base (all third-party apps must be installed in dedicated directories under /opt and their launchers and binaries in /usr/local/* ...), just use "AM" Application Manager. This app manager requires root privileges only to install / remove applications, the main advantage of this type of installation is that the same applications will be available to all users of the system. |

| "AppMan" |
|---|
If you don't want to put your app manager in a specific path but want to use it portable and want to install / update / manage all your apps locally, download "AppMan" instead. With this script you will be able to decide where to install your applications (at the expense of a greater consumption of resources if the system is used by more users). AppMan is portable, all you have to do is write the name of a folder in your $HOME where you can install all the applications available in the "AM" database, and without root privileges. |
