Ninite is a website that makes it very easy to download and install a selection of software by creating an easy-to-use executable. You can later use the executable to update those programs you selected. There are a lot of apps to choose from.
Below is a list of programs I find the most useful on the site.
- Chrome – Google’s Web browser.
- Firefox – Mozilla’s web browser.
- LibreOffice – great powerful alterative to Microsoft Office.
- 7zip -A great easy to use file archiver.
- VLC – “VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVDs, Audio CDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols..”
- GIMP – GIMP is a cross-platform image editor.
- Dropbox – A great program that allows you to synchronize your files from one computer to another.
- Audacity A great free open source audio editor.
- Open Shell – A collection of utilities bringing back classic features to Windows.
- Thunderbird – A great free desktop email client.
I hope you find Ninite useful in installing and keeping those programs up to date.
