B OS introduces a new way to package and install Linux applications. Inspired by Inno Setup and Install Builder, B OS brings Indo Setup for developers and Package Wizard for end users. Together with the Xdeb package format, they create a complete and professional installation experience in Linux.
What is Indo Setup?
Indo Setup is a developer tool used to create Xdeb packages. It is inspired by Inno Setup and Install Builder, but designed for Linux. With Indo Setup, developers can package their applications into Xdeb format and provide an installer with a user-friendly interface.
Main features of Indo Setup:
- Create professional Linux installers in Xdeb format.
- Bundle dependencies for offline installation.
- Provide GUI-based installation similar to Windows installers.
- Free, open source, and fully integrated with B OS.
What is Xdeb?
Xdeb is a new package format designed for B OS. It is Debian-compatible but optimized for speed, simplicity, and integration with Indo Setup and Package Wizard.
- Fast and lightweight: supports modern compression (Zstd).
- Easy distribution: perfect for online or offline usage.
- Compatible: can run on Debian Testing with KDE, but works best on B OS.
What is Package Wizard?
While Indo Setup is used to create Xdeb packages, Package Wizard is the official tool to install them. It provides a simple and professional GUI installer for end users.
Main features of Package Wizard:
- Install applications from Xdeb packages with a few clicks.
- Support both online installation (from repository) and offline installation (from DVD, USB, or ISO).
- User-friendly interface with step-by-step installation (Next – Next – Install).
- Ideal for schools, offices, and government institutions with limited internet.
How to Install Indo Setup on B OS
Indo Setup is available in the official B OS repository. To install it:
sudo apt update

Once installed, developers can use Indo Setup to create Xdeb packages. Users then install these packages with Package Wizard, ensuring a smooth and professional installation experience.

- For Developers: Indo Setup makes it easy to create and distribute apps in Xdeb format.
- For Users: Package Wizard offers a professional installer, online or offline.
- For Institutions: simplifies mass installation across many computers.
