Installation

Unofficial third party organization on Github

If your app is open source, consider adding it to the "Sailfish OS third party open source apps collection" on Github. This makes it easier to discover new apps and collaborate in a central place. You can also work on your apps in your own repository and fork it to the Sailfish Apps organization:
