CerbeRun is a software able to parse .run files, then to execute them. CerbeRun is designed to make easier the use of Linux desktop computers for normal user, that is not forced to switch to root user in order to execute new applications. The main concept on which CerbeRun and the .run format are based is:

download
double-click
execution and enjoying

All is performed comfortably and with user grants only . Users from other systems are accustomed to download software and save it on supports, to be executed later or to be shared with friends. At present, it is not so easy (some times impossible) to save & distribute packages with .DEB or .RPM formats or other user-side formats (klik, 0install, packages), as in Mac or Windows systems.

CerbeRun and .run format, instead, merge the advantages of two above mentioned systems, because Windows .exe are single files to be executed, while Macintosh .app files can be installed and executed after a drag'n'drop, without a real installation step.

Requirements:
libarchive1
libarchive-dev
libfuse2
libfuse-dev
fuse-utils
libxml2
libxml2-dev
