Description

Turns "apt-get install" lines into clickable apturl links for installing Ubuntu and Debian GNU/Linux packages

This extension is intended to ease the life of Ubuntu/Debian users who browse the Internet searching for software, tutorials, etc.

Apt: urls are a way to install packages by using a protocol handler to read the list of packages to install.

This extension will turn lines of text describing commands for installation into clickable links that allow you to install the packages with just 2 clicks.

More info about AptUrl can be found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptURL

It didn't work

Does not work with some apt-get commands like UPDATE. Should get support for all commands. PPA: support would be nice.

Okay... handles text links with "apt-get whatever" perfectly. But it does NOT handle apt:// URLs like I thought it would! That's the only reason why I got this! EDIT: boyfriend of mine submitted your first GitHub issue about this! https://github.com/Ferk/apt-linker/issues/1
