Raspberry Pi app store

Raspberry Pi, the "$25 computer", now has its own app store. Pi Store is available for Raspbian (Debian for Raspberry Pi) and only 25 applications/games are included right now, but the Raspberry Pi folks hope it will get a lot more, as users upload their own content to the store.

Current titles available in the Pi Store include: LibreOffice, Freeciv and others, as well as a Raspberry Pi exclusive: Iridium Rising. There's also one commercial game: Storm in a TeaCup, an adventure game developed by Cobra Mobile.

Raspberry Pi store

The Raspberry Pi Store can be installed in Raspbian using the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pistore

And then launch it from the menu: Programming > Pi Store or the newly created desktop shortcut.

New Raspbian images which include the new Pi Store are also available for download on the Raspberry Pi downloads page.

You can also view the store online, at http://store.raspberrypi.com/.
