EDIT: Builds available here for anyone interested: GitHub - voczi/allinanki Is it possible for Anki to be distributed in an all-in-one package just like before? I really don’t care much for an actual installation wizard, but I would just like if it could be downloaded once and be able to be install…

Dae rejected a single package. See this entire thread for more info [image] New online installer/launcher Beta Testing It’s technically possible, but I don’t think most users would opt for that, and it would be hard to justify the hundreds of megabytes of wheel…

Currently, there is no such all-in-one package. Github tracks an issue for that as well: Offline installer · Issue #4241 · ankitects/anki · GitHub . But you should be able to build anki from source, or just download the dependencies once and copy them to your other devices where you want to install …

Ok thank you, that issue is what I needed for the community’s view. But it would be good to have dae’s opinion in regards to a PR adding the functionality I mentioned in the OP into the main repo.

Hm ok that sucks. But projects are bound to change after some time. Oh well, thanks for the pointers.

Got something going for Linux now at least. Ran it and it seems to work fine. [image] Size might be a bit concerning. I’ve probably just included too many things in the Pyinstaller package. But I’ll move to Windows next, and then publish a lil repo on Github for others to get the packaged Anki v…

Published the repo here: GitHub - voczi/allinanki Readme should contain most details, but I probably forgot something, idk. The setup process might end up being fairly simple anyway.

That seems like a convenient and interesting project, but I have some concerns. As Anon_0000 already said the official Anki refuses to distribute such all in one packages so it seems unlikely your project will be incorporated into the official Anki. If so, wouldn’t your project become a competing …

This is just an alternative distribution, so I don’t think the trademark is relevant, especially when there are minimal changes to the source? Linux distros do that all the time.

You used to be able to run pipx install aqt and get the latest version. Doesn’t that work anymore?

The launcher installs three dependencies via uv: anki-release, anki, aqt. It seems like the dependencies installed by aqt are the same as for anki-release? Idk, maybe there’s something I’m missing here but I just install anki-release in my workflows and it installs everything I need (anki, aqt, pyqt…
