Installing applications is a thorn in the side for many people. Confronted with a multitude of options in the installation process, people fear even the simple, "Recommended" set that comes with install managers. Faced with the public reluctance to switch to better technology due to baseless fears about the download and installation, two developers came up with the service that is known today as Ninite.
Ninite offers the simplest solution to installing multiple apps – A point and click alternative that chooses all the necessary applications and gives an integrated package that downloads each piece individually and installs it. The service favors Free and Open Source software but proprietary bundles that are widely used (like MS Office) are also available with trial variants.
Since Ninite works as an app manager, it gets the download link from each site and presents it in a format that most users will be able navigate with ease. Suggestions are also accepted at the bottom of the page and new apps are added by popular vote.
From browsers to security and media players to developer tools, a wide range is covered and even veterans of the internet will find apps of interest on the site. Separate lines for 32-bit and 64-bit systems are available. The developers state that no toolbars are added and that the install is hassle-free and spam ware-free.Currently, a professional version aimed at businesses, is offered for purchase that adds the benefits of offline installation and cached usage to speed up the installation process.
Whether it is setting up the program structure of a new PC or re-installing an app database or just adding new programs, it looks like Ninite could be a very useful tool.
