Hi,
Does anyone is uses Apturl. I need some information on it working. I only know about this is that it is used to download files from internet. How does this work and how to install it. Does this tool is included in the Software Repositories of Ubuntu. What files can I download from this and does the same tool is safer to use. What about the compatibility issues.

The GNU / Linux use package managers to install software on your machine. While it is extremely easy to install applications via Synaptic or the good old apt-get install, it is even simpler. Apturl is an addon for Linux which allows you to install whatever you want just by clicking a link. To begin, we will install the application apturl via Synaptic or command - sudo apt-get install apturl.

Here is a way how Apturl works. Suppose that a blogger writes an article on Gnome Main Menu. He might find useful (and visitors too) to offer direct installation, rather than impose on the reader having to look in deposits or typing commands on his terminal. To make an apt link, follow these steps, <a href="apt:gnome-main-menu"> Install Gnome Main Menu </ a>. Now that the visitor clicked to install the program, apt-get ordered to install. This clearly means that the program could be installed if it is in deposits.
