Copy link

Clicking the install button will result in HaikuDepot starting up (if using Haiku) and will begin the download process. The link will use an unofficial Haiku-only URI scheme (hpkg://haikuports/beam/v1.4a) .

How it works for Ubuntu: When a user is at the Ubuntu Apps website and are visting a page for an application that they wish to download, then they can click the "Download this with the Ubuntu Software Center" button found on that page. When a user clicks on this download link, it links to a special uniform resource identifier (for example: apt://banshee), which opens up the Ubuntu Software Center. The name of the requested package is extracted from the uniform resource name and the user can install the software (in the Ubuntu Software Center) with only a confirmation of their request.
