===== Appnr - Synaptic For Your Browser (Ubuntu)  =====
''//** \\ Version 1.0 \\ Author: Falko Timme <ft [at] falkotimme [dot] com> \\ Last edited 10/15/2008\\ **//''

\\ [[http://appnr.com/|Appnr]] is a web-based directory for Ubuntu packages (including the official repositories and third-party packages from Medibuntu, Google, and the Canonical Partner repository). You can use it to browse and install packages directly from your browser. It's like Synaptic for your browser. \\ \\ I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!\\ \\  \\ 
==== 1 Adding Repositories  ====
\\ The Appnr web site contains packages from the official Ubuntu repositories as well as from Medibuntu, Google, and the Canonical Partner repository. The third-party packages can be installed only if their repositories are listed in  //''/etc/apt/sources.list''// . Therefore we add the Medibuntu, Google, and Canonical Partner repositories to  //''/etc/apt/sources.list''// now. \\ \\ To do this, we open a terminal ( //''Applications > Accessories > Terminal''// ): \\ \\

\\ \\ To enable the Medibuntu repository, we do this:\\ 
<code>
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
</code>

<code>
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
</code>
\\ For the Google and Canonical Partner repositories, we run\\ 
<code>
wget -q -O -https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub |sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
</code>
\\ ... and add or enable the following lines in  //''/etc/apt/sources.list''// (the  //''hardy partner''// lines are already in the file, but commented out, so you must uncomment them):\\ 
<code>
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
</code>

<file>
[...]
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy partner
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy partner

deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free
[...]
</file>
\\ Finally, we update our package database:\\ 
<code>
sudo apt-get update
</code>
\\  \\
