Funny fact: The index.html file has exactly 6.53 MB (what would be the same size as Dekko's .click package). Maybe wget just renamed the downloaded file as index.html?

Thanks to @Ingo's knowledge, this is partly true! wget will ignore the response headers, because this is an experimental feature at that time. Therefore wget uses a standard name for the downloaded file, and this one will be a classic index.html.

The --allow-untrusted is required, because by simply downloading a click directly, you are missing the additional metadata, and are not verifying that what was downloaded, is trusted.

Okay, thanks a lot!

So the final (working) command should be:

• wget https://open-store.io/api/v3/apps/dekko2.dekkan/download/xenial/ -O /home/phablet/Downloads/dekko2.dekkan_armhf.click

Afterwards:

• pkcon install-local --allow-untrusted /home/phablet/Downloads/*.click

Do I need to use pkcon install-local --allow-untrusted or would it work without allow-antrusted as well?

looks ok. does it work?

• Let's assume I always want to downoad the newest version of respective .click-packages. Therefore I can not use the URL of a specific version, but have to use the overall URL to the package. Hereby I am not sure if this attempt could work with wget, because the following user prompt appears when opening the URL https://open-store.io/api/v3/apps/dekko2.dekkan/download/xenial/ in browser:

  

  It seems that opening the URL in browser will forward the user to the actual file. I am not sure if wget could handle that request correctly, because the URL does not refer to the file directly. I've tried it in terminal, hereby wget mistakenly downloaded the index.html-file instead of the desired .click-file.
