For the Google Apps Shell (GAS) and the Google Apps Shell Interface (GASI).

GAS (gas.py) is a script that allows Google Apps administrators to issue commands to their domain from a command line, without having to do any heavy API programming.

GASI (gasi.py) is a graphical user interface for GAS. It allows administrators to programmatically execute commands from GAS without having to write a bash script. Some use cases include...

• Changing every user's signature to a custom signature including their email address.
• Moving every user from one domain to another, then removing the old user alias.
• ...and many other interesting combination of Google Apps API commands.

GASI comes with an executable for certain computers. Depending on whether your computer has the same specs as the computer where the executable was created, it may work for you. In the future, an installer to build an executable for your computer is planned.

The Mac OS X executable is found in the mac_app folder. To use it, double click on the gasi.app file in the mac_app folder.

The Windows executable is found in the windows_app directory. To use it, double click on the gasi.exe file in the windows_app directory.

If your computer cannot run your GASI executable, you can still use GASI, by calling it from the command line. Here's how.

To run GAS or GASI from any computer with Python installed, you can run the gasi.py file with Python. This can be done by navigating to this directory from a terminal, then execute a command to open gasi.py with Python. This command is typically "python gasi.py" (provided your environment path or bash aliases are set up to use the term "python").
