The Openmoko Installer (Codename: Assassin) is a tool for installing, updating and uninstalling programs on your Neo.
Installer needs an internet connection to install applications for the repositories. This can be done via WiFi (currently unstable), USB, GPRS or Bluetooth.
[1] Make sure you are connected to the internet and launch Installer.
[2] At launch, Installer will initially refresh a list of installable programs. After refresh is complete, press the INSTALL button from the bottom bar to view a list of Categories. This is also the default page of the Installer application.
[3] Select a Category from the category list, then select a package to install.
[4] In the package information page, press the image box and confirm to begin.
[5] Once the progress bar shows Done, you will return to the Installer default page. Installation is then complete.
Adding a repository allows the package manager to install softwares beyond those included in the original distribution. More power, but also more risk of breakage.
opkg url_to_app.ipk
src community-repos http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Multiverse/
Changes made to the list of repositories made in '/etc/opkg' will be taken into account when the list of package is refreshed by:
opkg update
killall packagekitd
