klik strives to be the easiest way to download and run software, without installation.
klik creates self-contained "application images" which can run from anywhere (even from an USB thumbdrive or CD-RW), or be copied to a different Linux computer and used there.
klik "ingredients" are downloadable from the web and are converted into the respective self-contained package with a single click, even while running a Live-CD.
Because one software package is always exactly just one compressed cmg file, you can always delete software packages without any problems for other software. Because you can save cmg files everywhere, this solution is very flexible.
