apt-local is a package manager that uses pre-compiled binaries to install linux applications locally, without root privileges. It's highly extendable and opened to open source community. With apt-local you can create your own plugins (or install instructions) as simple JSON files or you can install packages from our official list of supported packages.
With apt-local, managing packages is easier. All package's source code is located at $APT_LOCAL_DIR/sources/<package_name> and it's executable path is located at $APT_LOCAL_DIR/local-path.txt. Installing packages locally, just for your user, you also keep your system safer, protecting other users from any security breach.
