A silent batch installer for Windows, written in Rust 🦀 — give it a JSON list of apps and it downloads and installs them all silently, one after another. Like Ninite, but the list is yours and the source is open.
On crates.io.
You can either download the binary from the release: https://github.com/p32929/siin/releases/latest
or using cargo cargo install siin
-
First create a JSON file like this: https://api.npoint.io/45bf94782cf51c2ad900
-
Host the JSON file in https://gist.github.com/ or https://www.npoint.io/ or https://pastebin.com/ or anywhere you like
-
Get the URL
-
Run SIIN CLI as Admin
If you have downloaded the EXE file from the release, just run the exe file as administrator
If you have installed siin using cargo, start CMD ( command prompt ) as administrator then run siin
-
Paste the URL and Hit enter
-
Done!!!
Host a JSON file anywhere public (a GitHub Gist, npoint.io, Pastebin — example) and give siin its URL:
[
{
"title":"name of the app",
"url":"direct_download_link_of_the_app",
"alt": "Optional, but if you want to pass any argument to the installer. Like VS code has some arguments. More info here: https://silentinstallhq.com/visual-studio-code-silent-install-how-to-guide/ "
}
