2. Usage

GUI vs Command-line

You have the option to utilize Proteus App Manager either via the GUI (Graphical user interface) or command-line.

The GUI for Proteus presents you with a dialog window and displays a list of all packages that are available to install on your system.

The GUI can be launched by simply executing the following in your terminal:

proteus

The command-line allows you to perform installations without the need for the GUI. To install apps utilizing the command-line, execute in terminal:

proteus -i <appname>

To install multiple apps, prefix each app name with the -i or --install option.

proteus -i git -i curl -i wget

The example above will install:

A list of available options and more examples for using the command-line can be found on the Command-Line page.
