## Introduction  

Welcome to the **Spark Store**! This is an application store designed for Linux platform users, aiming to address the issues of fragmented and difficult-to-obtain software within the Linux ecosystem. Regardless of your Linux distribution, you may find suitable software packages here.

The number of Linux applications is relatively limited, and obtaining Wine software can also be challenging. Excellent development kits and tool resources are scattered across various communities and forums, making it difficult for the entire ecosystem to achieve comprehensive improvement.

Ecosystem construction does not rely on isolated individual efforts but requires full community participation. Only when everyone's "spark" gathers in one place can it ignite a prairie fire.

To improve this situation, we have launched the Spark Store. The Spark Community extensively collects software packages for various user needs, aggregates high-quality small tools, and proactively adapts Wine applications. All resources are stored in our repository, allowing users to conveniently access these applications.

**Currently supported Linux distributions include (but are not limited to):**

- **amd64 Architecture:** deepin 20 / deepin 23 / Ubuntu 20.04 / Ubuntu 22.04 / UOS Home Edition 20 / Debian 11+
- **arm64 Architecture:** UOS Professional Edition 1060 / Ubuntu 22.04 / deepin 23
- **loong64 Architecture:** deepin 23

> Special Note: Spark Store also supports all Ubuntu OS versions newer than Ubuntu 22.04, such as Ubuntu 22.10, 23.04, 23.10, etc. Additionally, Spark Store may adapt to other Linux distributions beyond the listed platforms; you may conduct installation tests accordingly.

**Important Notice:** This software cannot guarantee continuous availability, uninterrupted operation, or meeting specific performance requirements. The Spark community makes no commitment to the functional completeness, stability, or error-free operation of this software. For example, if you plan to use it on UOS Professional Edition (or other similar specific platforms), please ensure you understand and enable the "Developer Mode" features. Basic troubleshooting capabilities are required. It is important to note that the Spark community cannot conduct extensive testing on some special platforms. Therefore, using the Spark Store client on these platforms may lead to various issues such as system update failures or data loss. Using this software indicates your understanding and acceptance that all risks must be borne by the user.

## Determine Your System Architecture

Before installing any software, you need to know which architecture your computer is running on (e.g., x86_64/amd64 or aarch64/arm64), which also applies to the Spark Store.

**How to Check:**

1. Open the Linux terminal.
2. Enter the command `uname -m` or `arch` and press `Enter`.

You will see the terminal output result, which helps determine your system architecture. Examples:

- If you see `x86_64`, your system is amd64 architecture.
- If you see `aarch64`, your system is arm64 architecture.

Based on this result, you need to download the corresponding version of the Spark Store installer to use it properly.
