Great tool, thanks for the heads-up!

For Ubuntu one needs to install the GetDebs PPA:

or build from source

Or just install it using the python package manager 'pip'

Yes you won't get shiny apt-get upgrade powers. But it does install apps like this one directly on pretty much any linux distro.

Not in 14.04 LTS. Looks like they added it in 14.10.
