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 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.

or execute "sudo dpkg -i bettersis.deb"
Download the "bsis" file (no extensions).

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)
Nothing. By installing it you can execute

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.
