This article mainly introduces how to use Orbital Apps in linux, has a certain reference value, interested friends can refer to, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, the following let the editor take you to understand it.

Orbital Apps or ORB (Open Runnable Bundle) apps (Open Runtime package), a free, cross-platform collection of open source programs. All ORB programs are mobile. You can install them on your Linux system or USB drive so that you can use the same program on any system. They do not require root permissions and have no dependencies. All necessary dependencies are included in the program. Just copy the ORB programs to the USB drive and insert them into any Linux system and start using them immediately. All settings and configurations as well as program data will be stored on the USB drive. Since we do not need to install the program on the local drive, we can run the application on an online or offline computer. This means that we don't need Internet to download any dependencies.

ORB programs are compressed by 60%, so we can even store and use them from small USB drives. All ORB applications are signed using PGP / RSA and distributed via TLS 1.2. All applications are packaged without any changes or even recompiled.

Download and use the removable ORB program

As I have already mentioned, we do not need to install removable ORB programs. However, the ORB team strongly recommends that you use the ORB launcher to get a better experience. ORB launcher is a small installer (smaller than 5MB) that helps you launch ORB programs and get a better, smoother experience.

Let's install the ORB initiator first. To do this, download the ORB initiator. You can manually download the ISO of the ORB initiator and mount it to the file manager. Or run any of the following commands in the terminal to install it:

$wget-O-https://www.orbital-apps.com/orb.sh | bash

If you do not have wget, run:

$curl https://www.orbital-apps.com/orb.sh | bash

Enter the root user and password when asked.

okay. The Orbit initiator is installed and ready for use.

Now, go to the ORB removable program download page and download the program of your choice. In this tutorial, I will download Firefox.

After downloading, go to the download location and double-click the ORB program to start it. Click Yes to confirm.

The Firefox ORB program works!

Similarly, you can download and run any program immediately.

If you do not want to use the ORB launcher, set the downloaded .orb installer to an executable file, and then double-click it to install. However, it is recommended that you use the ORB launcher, which makes it easier and smoother for you to use ORB programs.
