Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of network technology, in particular to an application installation method and device. Background technique [0002] With the development and popularization of smart terminals, various applications begin to appear, and terminals can be installed with various applications to achieve different functions. [0003] For the application developer, after generating the application installation file, the developer can publish the application installation file online, and the application installation file is used to install the application. When the user wants to install the application, he can use the terminal to search for the application installation file in the browser, download the application installation file and install it. [0004] The existing distribution method requires the user to actively search to download the application installation file, which is cumbersome to operate, and when the user is faced with...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The existing distribution method requires the user to actively search to download the application installation file, which is cumbersome to operate, and when the user is faced with many applications, the probability of actively searching for one of the application installation files is very small, which will lead to application failure. Low popularity, small number of users
