ORB: NEW GENERATION OF LINUX APPS ARE HERE
=============================================
![](http://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/ORB-Apps.jpeg)
We have talked about [installing applications offline in Ubuntu][1] before. And we are going to talk about it once again.
[Orbital Apps][2] has brought us a new type of application package, **ORB**, with portable applications, interactive installer support and offline usage ability.
Portable applications are always handy. Mostly because they can run on-the-fly without needing any administrator privileges, and also it can be carried around on small USB sticks along with all their settings and data. And these interactive installers will be able to allow us to install applications with ease.
### OPEN RUNNABLE BUNDLE (ORB)
ORB is a free & open-source package format and it’s different from the others in numerous ways. Some of the specifications of ORB is followings:
- **Compression**: All the packages are compressed with squashfs making them up-to 60% smaller.
- **Portable Mode**: If a portable ORB application is run from a removable drive, it’ll store its settings and data on that drive.
- **Security**: All ORB packages are signed with PGP/RSA and distributed via TLS 1.2.
- **Offline**: All the dependencies are bundled with the package, so no downloading dependencies anymore.
- **Open package**: ORB packages can be mounted as ISO images.
### VARIETY
ORB applications are now available in two varieties:
- Portable Applications
- SuperDEB
#### 1. PORTABLE ORB APPLICATIONS
Portable ORB Applications is capable of running right away without needing any installation beforehand. That means it’ll need no administrator privileges and no dependencies! You can just download them from the Orbital Apps website and get to work.
And as it supports Portable Mode, you can copy it on a USB stick and carry it around. All its settings and data will be stored with it on that USB stick. Just connect the USB stick with any system running on Ubuntu 16.04 and you’ll be ready to go.
##### AVAILABLE PORTABLE APPLICATIONS
Currently, more than 35 applications are available as portable packages, including some very popular applications like: [Deluge][3], [Firefox][4], [GIMP][5], [Libreoffice][6], [uGet][7] & [VLC][8].
For a full list of available packages, check the [Portable ORB Apps list][9].
##### USING PORTABLE APPLICATION
Follow the steps for using Portable ORB Applications:
- Download your desired package from the Orbital Apps site.
- Move it wherever you want (local drive / USB stick).
- Open the directory where you’ve stored the ORB package.
![](http://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/using-portable-orb-app-1-1024x576.jpg)
- Open Properties of the ORB package.
![](http://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/using-portable-orb-app-2.jpg)
>Add Execute permission to ORB package
- Add Execute permission from Permissions tab.
- Double-click on it.
Wait for a few seconds as it prepares itself for running. And you’re good to go.
#### 2. SUPERDEB
Another variety of ORB Applications is SuperDEB. SuperDEBs are easy and interactive installers that make the software installation process a lot smoother. If you don’t like to install software from terminal or software centers, SuperDEB is exactly for you.
And the most interesting part is that you won’t need an active internet connection for installing as all the dependencies are bundled with the installer.
##### AVAILABLE SUPERDEBS
More than 60 applications are currently available as SuperDEB. Some of the popular software among them are: [Chromium][10], [Deluge][3], [Firefox][4], [GIMP][5], [Libreoffice][6], [uGet][7] & [VLC][8].
For a full list of available SuperDEBs, check the [SuperDEB list][11].
##### USING SUPERDEB INSTALLER
- Download your desired SuperDEB from Orbital Apps site.
- Add **Execute permission** to it just like before ( Properties > Permissions ).
- Double-click on the SuperDEB installer and follow the interactive instructions:
![](http://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Using-SuperDEB-Installer-1.png)
>Click OK
![](http://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Using-SuperDEB-Installer-2.png)
>Enter your password and proceed
![](http://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Using-SuperDEB-Installer-3.png)
>It’ll start Installing…
![](http://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Using-SuperDEB-Installer-4.png)
>And soon it’ll be done…
- After finishing the installation, you’re good to use it normally.
### ORB APPS COMPATIBILITY
According to Orbital Apps, they are fully compatible with Ubuntu 16.04 [64 bit].
>Reading suggestion: [How To Know If You Have 32 Bit or 64 Bit Computer in Ubuntu][12].
As for other distros compatibility is not guaranteed. But we can say that, it’ll work on any Ubuntu 16.04 flavors (UbuntuMATE, UbuntuGNOME, Lubuntu, Xubuntu etc.) and Ubuntu 16.04 based distros (like upcoming Linux Mint 18). We currently have no information if Orbital Apps is planning on expanding its support for other Ubuntu versions/Linux Distros or not.
If you’re going to use Portable ORB applications often on your system, you can consider installing ORB Launcher. It’s not necessary but is recommended installing to get an improved experience. The shortest method of installing ORB Launcher is opening the terminal and enter the following command:
```
wget -O - https://www.orbital-apps.com/orb.sh | bash
```
You can find the detailed instructions at [official documentation][13].
### WHAT IF I NEED AN APP THAT’S NOT LISTED?
If you need an application as ORB package that is not available right now, you can [contact][14] Orbital Apps. And the good news is, Orbital Apps is working hard and planning on releasing a tool for creating ORB packages. So, hopefully, soon we’ll be able to make ORB packages ourselves!
Just to add, this was about installing apps offline. If you are interested, you should read [how to update or upgrade Ubuntu offline][15].
So, what do you think about Orbital Apps’ Portable Applications and SuperDEB installers? Will you try them?

ORB：新一代 Linux 应用
=============================================
![](http://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/ORB-Apps.jpeg)
我们之前讨论过[在 Ubuntu 上离线安装应用][1]。我们现在要再次讨论它。
[Orbital Apps][2] 给我们带来了新的软件包类型，**ORB**，它带有便携软件，交互式安装向导支持，以及离线使用的能力。
便携软件很方便。主要是因为它们能够无需任何管理员权限直接运行，也能够带着所有的设置和数据随U盘存储。而交互式的安装向导也能让我们轻松地安装应用。
### 开放可运行包 OPEN RUNNABLE BUNDLE (ORB)
ORB 是一个免费和开源的包格式，它和其它包格式在很多方面有所不同。ORB 的一些特性：
- **压缩**：所有的包经过压缩，使用 squashfs，体积最多减少 60%。
- **便携模式**：如果一个便携 ORB 应用是从可移动设备运行的，它会把所有设置和数据存储在那之上。
- **安全**：所有的 ORB 包使用 PGP/RSA 签名，通过 TLS 1.2 分发。
- **离线**：所有的依赖都打包进软件包，所以不再需要下载依赖。
- **开放包**：ORB 包可以作为 ISO 镜像挂载。
### 种类
ORB 应用现在有两种类别：
- 便携软件
- SuperDEB
#### 1. 便携 ORB 软件
便携 ORB 软件可以立即运行而不需要任何的事先安装。那意味着它不需要管理员权限和依赖！你可以直接从 Orbital Apps 网站下载下来就能使用。
并且由于它支持便携模式，你可以将它拷贝到U盘携带。它所有的设置和数据会和它一起存储在U盘。只需将U盘连接到任何运行 Ubuntu 16.04 的机器上就行了。
##### 可用便携软件
目前有超过 35 个软件以便携包的形式提供，包括一些十分流行的软件，比如：[Deluge][3]，[Firefox][4]，[GIMP][5]，[Libreoffice][6]，[uGet][7] 以及 [VLC][8]。
完整的可用包列表可以查阅 [便携 ORB 软件列表][9]。
##### 使用便携软件
按照以下步骤使用便携 ORB 软件：
- 从 Orbital Apps 网站下载想要的软件包。
- 将其移动到想要的位置（本地磁盘/U盘）。
- 打开存储 ORB 包的目录。
![](http://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/using-portable-orb-app-1-1024x576.jpg)
- 打开 ORB 包的属性。
![](http://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/using-portable-orb-app-2.jpg)
>给 ORB 包添加运行权限
- 在权限标签页添加运行权限。
- 双击打开它。
等待几秒，让它准备好运行。大功告成。
#### 2. SuperDEB
另一种类型的 ORB 软件是 SuperDEB。SuperDEB 很简单，交互式安装向导能够让软件安装过程顺利得多。如果你不喜欢从终端或软件中心安装软件，superDEB 就是你的菜。
最有趣的部分是你安装时不需要一个互联网连接，因为所有的依赖都由安装向导打包了。
##### 可用的 SuperDEB
超过 60 款软件以 SuperDEB 的形式提供。其中一些流行的有：[Chromium][10]，[Deluge][3]，[Firefox][4]，[GIMP][5]，[Libreoffice][6]，[uGet][7] 以及 [VLC][8]。
完整的可用 SuperDEB 列表，参阅 [SuperDEB 列表][11]。
##### 使用 SuperDEB 安装向导
- 从 Orbital Apps 网站下载需要的 SuperDEB。
- 像前面一样给它添加**运行权限**（属性 > 权限）。
- 双击 SuperDEB 安装向导并按下列说明操作：
![](http://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Using-SuperDEB-Installer-1.png)
>点击 OK
![](http://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Using-SuperDEB-Installer-2.png)
>输入你的密码并继续
![](http://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Using-SuperDEB-Installer-3.png)
>它会开始安装…
![](http://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Using-SuperDEB-Installer-4.png)
>一会儿他就完成了…
- 完成安装之后，你就可以正常使用了。
### ORB 软件兼容性
从 Orbital Apps 可知，它们完全适配 Ubuntu 16.04 [64 bit]。
>阅读建议：[如何在 Ubuntu 获知你的是电脑 32 位还是 64 位的][12]。
至于其它发行版兼容性不受保证。但我们可以说，它在所有 Ubuntu 16.04 衍生版（UbuntuMATE，UbuntuGNOME，Lubuntu，Xubuntu 等）以及基于 Ubuntu 16.04 的发行版（比如即将到来的 Linux Mint 18）上都适用。我们现在还不清楚 Orbital Apps 是否有计划拓展它的支持到其它版本 Ubuntu 或 Linux 发行版上。
如果你在你的系统上经常使用便携 ORB 软件，你可以考虑安装 ORB 启动器。它不是必需的，但是推荐安装它以获取更佳的体验。最简短的 ORB 启动器安装流程是打开终端输入以下命令：
```
wget -O - https://www.orbital-apps.com/orb.sh | bash
```
你可以在[官方文档][13]找到更加详细的介绍。
### 如果我需要的软件不在列表里？
如果你需要一个当前并没有可用 ORB 包的软件，你可以[联系][14] Orbital Apps。好消息是，Orbital Apps 正在致力于推出一个创建 ORB 包的工具。所以，不久后我们有希望可以自己制作 ORB 包！
多说一句，这个文章是关于离线安装软件的。如果你感兴趣的话，你可以看看[如何离线更新或升级 Ubuntu][15]。
所以，你怎么看 Orbital Apps 的便携软件和 SuperDEB 安装向导？你会试试吗？
