Apps will be downloaded and installed automatically. Some will require a PPA to be added to the repositories. Others will be compiled from source if no PPA is available. The compilation process can take a long time, while installing from a PPA or DEB file should be quick, depending on your download speed.

The install methods are as follows:

PPA – the program will be downloaded and installed from a PPA DEB – the program will be installed from a DEB package Source – the program will be compiled (may take a long time)

Since UbuTricks is still in early development, bugs may appear and only a small number of applications is available right now. Some of the installable programs include:
