But what is this AIR thing about? AIR is a runtime coding environment that enables developers to create web software tools, working in between a web-based app and a native desktop utility. AIR apps typically include Internet elements such as HTML, Flash or Ajax, but are launched from your computer as you would normally launch any other program.<\/p>\n<p>How do you install AIR apps? First of all, you need the basic component, <a href=\"http:\/\/get.adobe.com\/air\/\">Adobe AIR<\/a>. Then, simply download the AIR tool you&#8217;re interested in (usually a file with the .air extension) and double click on it. You&#8217;ll start up an installation process similar to this one:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2008\/05\/air01.jpg\" alt=\"Everything about Adobe AIR\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Click on &#8220;Install&#8221;, select the program&#8217;s location on your hard drive and you&#8217;re ready to go. When the installation is finished, run your newly AIR app as you would run any program.<\/p>\n<p>There is already a wide range of AIR tools available to download, covering all sorts of areas: from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twhirl.org\/\">Twitter clients<\/a> to <a href=\"http:\/\/tumblweed.org\/\">microblogging<\/a> tools, including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aboutnico.be\/index.php\/google-analytics-air-beta-sign-up\/\">web stats analyzers<\/a> or even <a href=\"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/readair\/\">RSS feed readers<\/a>.
