It allows users to make a selection from a list of applications and bundles the selection into a single installer package. There are currently two versions of the service, for Windows and Linux.

Features
Ninite works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Debian-based variants of Linux, such as Ubuntu. It presents the user with a list of programs and generates a custom installer executable based on the user's selection [2]. When run, the installer downloads and installs the selected applications. The authors of this program claim that their installer does not interfere with your system when you use it to install software chosen from their service[3], although the Linux version does send some information back to the developers.[4]
Other names
Ninite was called Volery during the private beta. The name was changed to Ninite when the authors released the official version on their site. [5]
