The following table shows the differences between versions
Version | Snap Store | AppImage | DEB package | PyInstaller | Source code |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Short usage description |
I want to install betterSIS and always have the latest features and bug fixes automatically installed for me |
I prefer to don't install stuff and I want to be able to update when I want to. I know that if I want to execute betterSIS from everywhere I need to put the executable file inside a folder in the PATH environment variable. (such as the $HOME/bin directory, which you might need to create manually) |
I want to install betterSIS and I am ok with manual updates. I also have a distro based on Debian (like Ubuntu) |

I want to see/change the source code or help by contributing on this project. |
How to download and install | Snap store Graphical User Interface or execute "snap install bettersis" |
Download the .AppImage file. You might need to give it permission to run by executing the "chmod +x BetterSIS-*.AppImage" command |
Download the .deb file and double click on it or execute "sudo dpkg -i bettersis.deb" |
Download the "bsis" file (no extensions). You might need to give it permission to run by executing the "chmod +x bsis" command |
git clone https://github.com/mario33881/betterSIS.git |
What do I have to do to make betterSIS available from everywhere |
Nothing. By installing it you can execute it from everywhere |
Put the .AppImage file inside a folder in the PATH environment variable (such as the $HOME/bin directory) |

Put the file inside a folder in the PATH environment variable (such as the $HOME/bin directory) |
You could create a script that calls bettersis.py using python3 and put that file in a folder in the PATH env. var. but It doesn't make much sense for the described usage example |
How to execute betterSIS | Execute the "bettersis" command | Execute the file from its directory using: ./BetterSIS-<version> or, if you put it in a folder inside the PATH env. var.: BetterSIS-<version> |
Execute the "bsis" command | Execute the file from its directory using: ./bsis or, if you put it in a folder inside the PATH env. var.: bsis |
Execute the bettersis.py file using python3: python3 bettersis.py |
I need help and I want to share the log file. Where is it |
