A free, open-source app store for Raspberry Pi and ARM Linux devices, simplifying software installation with shell scripts.
What is Pi-Apps?
Pi‑Apps is a free, open‑source app store for Raspberry Pi and other ARM‑based Linux devices. It solves the difficulty of installing software on ARM Linux by providing a curated collection of over 200 shell scripts that automatically download and install applications from their original sources, bypassing the limitations of official repositories. This makes the Raspberry Pi more accessible as a daily desktop computer.
Raspberry Pi users, educators, hobbyists, and developers who want an easy way to install popular or complex software not available in standard package managers. It is especially useful for those who find manual installation on ARM Linux challenging or time‑consuming.
Developers choose Pi‑Apps because it uses flexible shell scripts to install apps from anywhere, avoiding dependency on standardized packaging formats. Its community‑driven catalog of over 200 apps, user‑friendly GUI, and support for multiple ARM platforms (like Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu on Pi, Nintendo Switch, and Nvidia Jetson) provide a unique, centralized solution for discovering and installing hard‑to‑find software.
