Unlocking New Distribution Channels with IC Pack’s Bootstrapper

IC Pack, an innovative package management system for the ICP blockchain, offers a unique approach to software distribution. Unlike traditional methods where users download software packages separately, IC Pack utilizes a bootstrapper. This is a piece of software that installs the package manager, and can also install other software applications. This dual functionality opens up new possibilities for developers looking to distribute their software to a broader audience.

How Developers Can Benefit:

• Seamless Bundling: Developers can bundle their software applications with the IC Pack package installer into a single installer package using the bootstrapper. This means users installing the developer’s software automatically install IC Pack as well. This provides a smooth, unified installation experience for the end user.
• Wider Reach: By creating a bundled software installation package, developers can reach users who aren’t already using IC Pack, effectively expanding their user base. This custom software installation approach leverages IC Pack’s package management capabilities to facilitate the distribution of the developer’s software.
• Free Promotion of IC Pack: Every time a developer distributes their software using the bootstrapper, they are also promoting the IC Pack package manager. This is because the user will need to install IC Pack to use the developer’s software. This results in a mutually beneficial system, where software vendors advertise the package manager for free.

Key Features of IC Pack

• User Sovereignty: IC Pack puts users in control. No one, not even the developers of the package manager, can update or remove software installed on computer without the user’s explicit consent. This ensures a secure software installation environment.
• Speed and Efficiency: By installing software packages in the same subnet, IC Pack enables faster inter-app communication and faster performance. This improves the overall user applications experience.
• Easy Management: Similar to app store experiences like Google Play, IC Pack is designed for easy software management. Users can effortlessly install apps, manage permissions, and oversee their software environment. This provides a user-friendly experience similar to what users are familiar with from other app stores.
• Choice and Flexibility: Users have the freedom to choose which software to install, selecting from various software distributions, similarly to choosing from different applications and software options.

IC Pack is the first package manager for fully on-chain applications. It is designed to give users control over their computer software install, and its design facilitates easier management of software apps. This package management tool is poised to revolutionize how we think about software installation and management.

By using IC Pack, developers can provide a seamless install applications experience to their users, while also introducing them to a powerful package manager that puts them in control of their software. This can facilitate the growth and adoption of new software on the ICP blockchain, creating a dynamic ecosystem for both developers and users. With features inspired by app stores and package managers, IC Pack is aiming to become the de facto standard for on-chain software management. IC Pack offers benefits similar to Linux package managers, providing also the ability to install dependencies.

This approach to software distribution can significantly change the landscape for developers and users on the ICP blockchain, promoting a more decentralized and user-centric approach to software. IC Pack aims to give users full control over their software installed online.
