Easy Way To Install Software On A New OS - Ninite

So you got a brand new PC or laptop. Or maybe you formatted your old system and are left with a sparkling clean installation of the OS. Now begins the annoying task of installing all the third-party software you need. So the process you follow will be something like this- Go to the manufacturer website of each application, download the installer, start it up and accept the 'Terms & Conditions' without a second glance, mindlessly keep clicking the 'Next' button..wait..go back and uncheck that 'Free Toolbar' option..click Next..Next..Finish. Rinse, repeat.

Is there an easier way to do this? Yes! Step in a little gem called Ninite.

So how does this make the process easier? Well all you gotta do is hit up the Ninite Official Website, select all the apps you want to install on your system and click on the big green 'Get Installer' button. Once this installer has been downloaded, just start it up and let Ninite do its work. It will automatically get the latest setup of each app from the official publisher website and install it on your machine. Ninite is like your good friend who automatically says 'No' to all the toolbars, adware and other nonsense some installers try to put on your machine. It automatically detects your system language and also installs the correct version of the software (32-bit or 64-bit) on your machine. 



If you click on the image above, you can see that Ninite supports installation of several diverse apps. From media players like iTunes, VLC and Winamp to security essentials like Avira and AVG to even developer tools like Eclipse, Putty etc. Ninite includes most of the essential apps for web browsing, messaging, imaging, media, documentation, online storage, security, file sharing, compression and several other utilities.

Visit the official Ninite Website.

Ninite is free for personal use. A Pro version with some additional features is available for business users. Ninite works on Windows and Linux.
