Re: zero install json api

Hi Sanketh,

welcome to the Zero Install community. :)

There are currently three implementations of Zero Install:

1. Python. This implementation is mostly obsolete, but still provides a convenient Python API for other apps to build on.

2. OCaml. Mainly intended for use on Linux and MacOS. It does work on Windows as well, but with some limitations and no GUI. This is the version that provides the JSON API.

3. C#. Mainly intended for use on Windows. It does work on Linux, but again with some limitations and no GUI. This version provides .NET/NuGet libraries. This is the version you are currently using.

The C# version internally uses the OCaml version and its JSON API for solving complex dependency graphs.
You can also instruct your installed version of Zero Install to fetch and run the OCaml version like this:
0install run http://0install.net/tools/0install.xml slave 2.11

Note: 0install.net seems to be down at the moment, which may prevent this from working right now.

I'd be curious to know what kind of API integration you are interested in.

Regards
Bastian

Subject: [Zero-install-devel] zero install json api

Hello All,
I am new to zero install, in the below document i found that JSON API is available to be used with other applications.
http://0install.net/json-api.html 
I tried using it on windows machine by executing command "0install slave 2.11", 0install says that command 'Slave' in unknown. Is this supported on Windows or am i doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance.
