Automated install comes to open source .NET projects

by Jack Hughes on March 10, 2010

One of the nice things about Linux is the ability to install apps (and dependencies) very easily using apt-get or similar. Windows users have been missing a similar tool for a long time. Never fear, the Scottish Alt.Net group have written Hornget, a tool for installing open source .NET projects.

Quite a few projects are supported, though most are of interest only to programmers. It would be nice to see a lot more user oriented tools like games and the like.

Update 2011/06/23: There is in fact now a far better tool called Nuget, project gallery is here.
