klik strives to be the easiest way to download and run software, without installation.
klik creates self-contained "application images" which can run from anywhere (even from an USB thumbdrive or CD-RW), or be copied to a different Linux computer and used there.
klik "ingredients" are downloadable from the web and are converted into the respective self-contained package with a single click, even while running a Live-CD.
Because one software package is always exactly just one compressed cmg file, you can always delete software packages without any problems for other software. Because you can save cmg files everywhere, this solution is very flexible.
klik Is
* An easy way to download and run software -- without installing it
* 1 File = 1 Application
* Safe to use -- it never interferes with your existing system
* An easy way to distribute applications
* Able to run in user space without root/sudo
klik Is Not
* A package management system. It doesn't strive to replace apt-get, dpkg, rpm, yum, apt4rpm, portage, smart, autopackage or what-have-you.
* klik is not a Microsoft Windows application
(klik is currently to be regarded as "usable alpha" quality, meaning: not all packages work for all distros/users. But if a package works, it works normally quite well. Try it, and don't give up after the first failure -- try another one then.)
