Install
One command and JII is in place. Paste it into your terminal:
The script is served from this site; the binaries come from the GitHub releases. It installs into user space — sudo only where needed, with the commands shown.
$ curl -fsSL https://sudonit.com/install.sh | sh What it is
Installing software on Linux used to mean remembering where each thing lived: this one comes from dnf, that one from Flatpak, and the other only from GitHub. JII takes that choice away. You type `jii install <program>`, and it searches every source at once, picks the best one, and tells you why.
It's an installer, not a package manager: it doesn't replace dnf or Flatpak — it drives the ones you already have. And it never runs fully as root; only the concrete steps that need it escalate, shown to you first.
Why JII
- 01
One interface for every source
dnf, COPR, Flatpak, GitHub, Cargo, npm, pipx, Go — you type one command, JII sorts it out.
- 02
Explains its choice
It doesn't just install — it tells you where from, which version, and why that source won.
- 03
Shows the plan first
Every action is a plan. With --dry-run you see the whole thing before it runs — nothing happens behind your back.
- 04
Respects source trust
Official, community, untrusted. In auto mode an untrusted match is never installed silently.
- 05
Root only where needed
JII never runs fully as root — only the steps that need it escalate, with the exact commands shown first.
- 06
Honest when it finds nothing
If there's no good match, it's not a dead end — it points you at what to try next.
How it works
- 1 You type jii install and the program's name.
- 2 JII searches every connected source at the same time.
- 3 It ranks the results: source trust, how fresh the version is, how native the source is to your system.
- 4 It shows the best option and the reason — and installs it once you confirm.
Other ways
Packages & archives
.rpm, .deb and tar.gz for x86_64 and aarch64 — on the GitHub releases.
All releases →GitHub
If the site is ever down, the same install is right there on GitHub:

Is it a replacement for dnf or Flatpak?
No. JII is an installer, not a package manager. It drives the managers already on your system rather than replacing them.
What does it run on?
Fedora-first for now: dnf5, COPR, Flatpak, GitHub. Other distributions sit behind a platform abstraction — that's the next step.
Is running an installer through curl safe?
You can read the script first — open https://sudonit.com/install.sh in your browser before you run it. And JII itself never runs fully as root.
Why is JII's pick better than choosing by hand?
It weighs source trust, version freshness and how native a source is to your system — and always explains the choice. The final call is still yours.
Is it open source?
Yes — open source on GitHub under GPL-3.0. The project is currently in beta.
