Alfred Bundler

the Alfred 2 dependency downloader framework

  • Current Release
  • Taurus 1 — ???
  • Previous Release
  • Aries 1 — 15 April 2004 deprecated
The Bundler is ironically named in that it does not bundle dependencies but, instead, makes bundling obsolete.

Best Practices

The bundler makes it easy to follow best practices for workflow development. It installs all assets in Alfred's data directory instead of the system directory, including Python packages and Ruby gems, making workflows easy to uninstall.

Further, Ruby gems will always be compatible with the user's system, so you don't have to worry about bundling all of the versions for the user's system.
