Zero Install

Zero Install is an open source tool that can help you run dozens of programs on your PC without the need to install them. Unlike traditional package managers, you don't have to be a system administrator or rely on a centralized repository to test or distribute software with this tool.

Install programs without modifying your OS

Zero Install makes it really easy to run apps without having to install them as you normally would. Each file package will be unzipped in its own folder in seconds, without touching sensitive paths like /usr/bin. This facilitates the process when it comes to testing experimental versions of tools such as Curl or, on the other hand, when running different versions of the same program without altering your operating system logs or interfering with other apps.

An interesting tool for developers

Zero Install offers developers the possibility to include an XML file in the source code repository. This way, you won't have to do anything more for other users to compile and run your app with all its dependencies without the slightest effort.

Guaranteed security

To protect the integrity of your data, Zero Install will digitally sign each package. Likewise, the tool will only make changes to the operating system with your authorization. However, you can also configure automatic updates.

Avoid issues with incompatible versions

Through Zero Install you can install multiple versions of the same program or library in parallel. If an app requires a specific version, you can download and run it without affecting other versions. This avoids possible conflicts and errors with incompatible versions.

Download Zero Install for Windows and run software from your PC securely and without losing control of your system.
