# Pi-Apps ![logo](https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/blob/master/icons/logo-64.png?raw=true)
## Raspberry Pi App Store for Open Source Projects
Say there's **a guy**. He's a beginner and comes from a Windows background.
On day one, he will try to install a few familiar Windows apps. He searches the web and finds a **bad tutorial**. The tutorial says to install an x86 deb file on your PC. Well that didn't work on the Pi!
So he searches again. This time he finds an **outdated tutorial** (from RPi's Wheezy days) on **some random dude's blog**. The procedure **destroys his OS**. Now this guy has to re-flash his SD card. **What a hassle.** :(
This happens to hundreds of beginner users every day of the year.
It's about time: someone needs to **make a collection bash scripts that install apps with a click of a button**. Pi-Apps is here to help.
Say there's **a guy**. He's comes from a Windows background and doesn't know much about Linux or RPi.
On day one, he tries to install a few familiar Windows apps. If he's lucky, he'll find a tutorial that doesn't work anymore. If he's unlucky, he will find a tutorial that bricks his OS. So on day one, this guy has followed two faulty tutorials and destroyed his system. How annoying!
Something needs to be done! Why hasn't anybody made a collection of bash scripts that install apps easily?
Pi-Apps does exactly this - distributing over 50 app-installers that are executed with one click of the mouse.
## To install Pi-Apps
Make sure `git` is installed with `sudo apt install git`, then run:
```
git clone https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps
~/pi-apps/install
```
The install script ensures YAD is installed, creates two menu buttons, and an autostarted updater. Nothing is modified outside your home directory.
## To run Pi-Apps
Menu -> Accessories -> Pi Apps, or type `~/pi-apps/gui`.
