Kylin Software announces the launch of a visual installation package production tool"Star Assistant" (MakeInstaller), which can help users of the Galaxy Kirin operating system completely say goodbye to using the command line to install software packages. It can also help development and operation and maintenance personnel achieve visual dependency analysis and produce visual installation packages/upgrade packages, etc.

As we all know, although there are many domestic operating systems, the kernels are all based on Linux, and some advanced functions still require the command line. They are not friendly to ordinary users and are also a major obstacle on the road to popularization.

Kirin Software’s Star Assistant is for developers, technical support personnel, and user techniciansIt provides convenient software packaging methods, visual static dependency analysis, runtime dependency analysis, visual RPATH settings, visual production of application installation packages, visual production of source code DEB packages, DEB collection installation packages, RPM packages, SQUASHFS files, etc. 8 functional modules. Different modules can also be used in combination to meet the needs of various scenarios.

For example, a user needs to turn off window grouping and add window tiling function based on his original habits.

To meet this demand, there are as many as 14 software packages involving related dependencies, all of which need to be installed.

Use Star Assistant to create a DEB collection installation package in just three steps:

1. Organize the software packages that need to be installed;

2. Start the Star Assistant, select the "Create DEB Collection Installation Package" function, fill in the package information and generate the path, and the tool will automatically use the dependency algorithm to sort the component packages to solve the problem of dependency installation order conflicts;

3. In the software package generation interface, you can see the upgrade package information filled in before. Click "Generate" to generate the installation package.

at present,Star Assistant has been adapted to Arm and x86 versions of Galaxy Kirin desktop operating system V10 and Galaxy Kirin advanced server operating system V10, and can support multiple international open source Linux operating system versions.
