A device which runs software applications includes a network interface, a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and at least one processor. The device identifies that a link for installation of a new software application is selected by user interaction with a software application that is running on the device. In response to the identification, an installation client is invoked to run in the background on the device without exiting the currently-running software application. The installation client is instructed to automatically download an installation file of the new software application over the network using the network interface. The new software application is installed on the device using the downloaded installation file.
