Use UbuTricks to install the latest games and applications on ubuntu

UbuTricks is a program that helps you install the latest versions of games and applications on Ubuntu.

UbuTricks is a graphical script with a simple interface based on Zenity. Although in early development, it aims to install Ubuntu14.04 through simple interface operations and to update the application on the release version later.

The application is automatically downloaded and installed. Ppa may be required for some updates, and others will be installed by compiling the source code. The compilation process may take some time. It may take a little bit faster to install from the ppa or deb file, depending on your download speed.

There are several installation methods:

• PPA-the Program will be downloaded and installed from PPA
• DEB-the Program will be installed from the DEB File
• Source-the Program will be compiled and installed (it may take some time)
• Script-the Program will be installed through the Script provided by the developer
• Archive-the Program will be installed through compressed files
• Repository-install the program from the Repository (not PPA)
