For all of us who don’t like snap on ubuntu it would be great to have an alternative way to install budgie applets.  
TIA

All applets can be installed via the command line.

```
sudo apt install budgie- 

```

Then press the tab key to list all the package names

You can also add the backported ppa for more applets

```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntubudgie/backports
```

Not a single one of our applets are a snap. They are installed via the traditional methods via our PPAs. 🙂

_EDIT_ - oops, I just saw David has responded.
