Executables

.AppImage

• Is designed to work on any Linux distribution, but with some conditions and limitations.

• Aims to be distribution-agnostic, meaning:

  • Works on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, openSUSE, etc.

  • Doesn't require package managers ( apt , dnf , pacman , etc.).

  • Self-contained with most libraries bundled.

  • But:

    • If your distro is very old, newer AppImages might not run.

• Dependencies :

  • FUSE (File System in Userspace) may be needed.

  • On modern systems with AppImage type 2 , FUSE is not required.

• Running :

  ./AppName.AppImage
  

• If it fails, check for missing libraries :

  ldd ./AppName.AppImage
  

• Execution permission :

  • You must set the file as executable:

  chmod +x AppName.AppImage
