Download apps on Raspberry Pi from Pi-Apps

The app stores for mobile devices have become a complete success and this is demonstrated by spaces such as the App Store, the Google Play Store or the Amazon Appstore. This trend has also been assimilated by desktop systems such as Windows and Mac, through the Microsoft Store and Mac App Store, respectively.

Pi-App: the app store for Raspberry Pi

Something similar happens with the Raspberry platform and the Pi-Apps application store compatible with Debian-based Linux systems and particularly with Raspberry Pi OS, the official Raspberry Pi operating system.

But unlike traditional app marketplaces that distribute free software and commercial software, only open source tools, utilities, games, and scripts are advertised on Pi-Apps.

Installation of the Pi Apps store is very simple and is done manually using the command line. Follow these steps to get it.

Open a terminal and run the following command:
