Installer is a tool for installing, updating and uninstalling programs on your Neo.
Installer uses a WiFi or USB network connection to connect to repositories.
[1] Connect to a WiFi network in the Settings application, or manually connect to a USB network connection before proceeding to Installer.
[2] In Installer, 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.
Sharing applications amongst users and developers is easy using the Multiverse. Anyone can upload applications or even their own repository to share with fellow Neo owners.
You can release your package with ipk file.
Packages in Installer are displayed according to Package Tags. To display a package through Installer, add the appropriate tag message.
