Uygulamalar
Haiku ile birlikte gelen uygulamalara bakmadan önce, isterseniz Haiku'ya nasıl uygulama yükleyebileceğimize bir bakalım. Haiku'ya uygulama yüklemenin en kolay yolu Haiku'nun kendi paket yönetimini kullanmadır. Ancak Haiku, atası olan BeOS ile kaynak düzeyinde uyumlu olduğundan dolayı, eski .zip veya .pkg dosyalarını da kurabilirsiniz.
Haiku packages (.hpkg)
The simplest way is to use HaikuDepot to find, download and automatically install and uninstall a package. If you have downloaded a package from somewhere else — maybe because it's not (yet) in a public repository — just double-click it to open in HaikuDepot and install from there.
You'll find the newly installed application in /system/apps/ or, in case of a commandline application, in /system/bin/. All other files the program depends upon (libraries, data, add-ons, etc.) appear automatically in the right locations in the filesystem.
Topics Deskbar or LaunchBox describe how to add shortcuts to your newly installed application.
If the package depends on some other library or package, a window will pop up, asking if the necessary files shall be downloaded and installed as well.
Uninstalling is just as easy: Simply find the package in HaikuDepot and click
.If you're working in the Terminal or want to do un/installing of packages in a script, you should have a look at the command pkgman --help.
Old BeOS archives (.zip and .pkg)
BeOS archives that include all they need in their app's folder can simply be unpacked (double clicking opens Expander or the old PackageInstaller) anywhere in /boot/home/ and run from there. Uninstalling such self-contained applications is easy: just delete the app's folder.
This is true for the majority of old BeOS applications. If you happen upon one that doesn't work out-of-the-box, because it wants to spread its files to hard-coded locations that are not guaranteed to exist, you can try to fix things manually. The folder /system/non-packaged/ allows you to recreate the needed folder hierarchy. As more and more real .hpkg packages become available and old BeOS applications get re-packaged, this will become less needed. Please consult this online article on how to use the non-packaged hierarchy.
Haiku's applications
Haiku comes with a set of mostly small but essential applications. You'll find all of them at /boot/system/apps/. Applications that are not usually launched by a double-click on a data file (e.g. ShowImage for image files) can be found in the menu of the Deskbar.
