Installer is a tool for installing, updating and uninstalling programs on your Neo.
Installer needs an internet connection to install applications for the repositories. This can be done via WiFi (currently unstable), USB, GPRS or Bluetooth.
[1] Make sure you are connected to the internet and launch Installer.
[2] At launch, Installer will initially refresh a list of installable programs. After refresh is complete, press the INSTALL button from the bottom bar to view a list of Categories. This is also the default page of the Installer application.
[3] Select a Category from the category list, then select a package to install.
[4] In the package information page, press the image box and confirm to begin.
[5] Once the progress bar shows Done, you will return to the Installer default page. Installation is then complete.
Sharing applications is done by uploading packages to the Community Repository, which is a similar concept to the Multiverse repository in Ubuntu. Anyone can upload applications. You can also maintain your own repository independently from Openmoko.
