Running AppImage files on Ubuntu Linux

Edit on GitHub

Linux

AppImage is cool because

  • one file to rule them all
  • it is distribution agnostic. same file can run on Debian and Fedora. Unlike .deb for Debian/Ubuntu and .rpm for Fedora/SUSE, you get one AppImage file you can run on all distribution
  • it is self-container. Meaning you don’t need to install it or extract it, just directly run it by double-clicking.

Installing AppImage files

  • Download the file
  • Make it executable
  • Run by double-clicking it
