MeeShop

MeeShop is a brand-new, working app store for Nokia N9 / N950 devices running MeeGo Harmattan. MeeShop uses OpenRepos as its database.

• OpenRepos
• Ovi Store
• Automatic dependencies resolving

Installing

You need to have Developer Mode enabled and Aegis-hack. Python needs to be installed. Run Terminal, and type following commands:

devel-su
(enter "rootme" without quotes as password)
aegis-apt-get install python3 python3.1 -y --force-yes

Download latest release (.deb file) from Releases page, and transfer it to N9, saving in MyDocs (i.e. Nokia N9 drive when connected to PC). Run the Terminal again, and type following commands:

devel-su
(enter "rootme" without quotes as password)
cd /home/user/MyDocs
aegis-dpkg -i meeshop_RELEASE_armel.deb
(replace RELEASE with the proper number, i.e. 0.2.0)

If you don't see any errors, you're ready to use MeeShop!

How to use

MeeShop is a CLI app with no native GUI. However, it has been designed to make the usage as easy as possible! You don't need to enter any commands. Just run MeeShop from applications menu while being connected to Internet. You will see a retro-style menu with few options, like Applications. Below is a quick description of functions.

• Applications - is the main function, which allows to search for apps and install them.
  • Search - searches for apps
  • Show apps - shows all available packages - WIP.
• Ovi Store - an innovative solution, allowing to search & install apps from the original Ovi/Nokia Store! Using Wayback Machine archiving system.
• RSS Feeds - a list of working RSS feeds for MeeGo, for selected countries.
• APT Fixer - runs simple apt-get install -f command, which can be used to fix some unresolved dependencies.
• About - name suggest the action.

Each function will ask you for something - you need to enter your "answer" and press Enter to confirm. To go back (almost) anytime, press 0 when MeeShop asks you for something.

Packaging MeeShop yourself

You can package MeeShop yourself! Just run build_deb.sh script in current directory. A MeeShop DEB will appear in few seconds, ready to be installed. Note: using nightly branch is unrecommended, because it containts latest, developed right now and not properly tested functions!
