The Eat Store provides a simple way to manage apps with the Eat package manager. It's for those who need Eat, but do not need to use a terminal.
The Eat manager is a text-only package manager, while the Eat Store is a GUI tool for using the manager.
To install the Eat Store, go to your terminal and run:

Eat Store does not work in text-only Linux distributions (e.g. Ubuntu Server), because it is written using Tkinter. If you need it and are using a text-only distro, you can use the text-only Eat.
Using the git protocol will not work, you'll get an error.
If you are a Ubuntu or Debian user, you can build and install the Debian package eat-store.deb:
git clone https://github.com/EatInstall/Store.git
cd Store
dpkg-buildpackage
sudo dpkg -i eat-store.deb
# idealy; you can also choose apt (sudo apt install --yes ./eat-store.deb)
