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.
How to install Pi Apps on your Raspberry Pi
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:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Botspot/pi-apps/master/install | bash
How to download apps from Pi Apps
After its installation on the Raspberry Pi OS system, just click on the start menu and select Accessories > Pi Apps.
Another way to access this store is to run the pi-apps command in a terminal.
