<p>
Suppose you have some internet application which you want to add to the system. To do this you need to create an app script which tells the system how to install/remove and also backup/restore. On an installed system the app scripts go into the directory:
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-bash">/usr/share/freedombone/apps
</pre>
</div>
<p>
and within the project repo they appear within the <i>src</i> directory. Your new app script should have the name:
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-bash">freedombone-app-[myappname]
</pre>
</div>
<p>
The <i>myappname</i> value should not contain any spaces and will appear in the list of available apps.
</p>
<p>
An example template for an app script is shown below. Copy this and add whatever variables and configuration you need. Search and replace <i>myappname</i> with your own.
