About AppImage Files
An AppImage bundles a Linux application with everything it needs in one file, so it runs on most distributions without installing anything. You download it, make it executable and run it. Deleting the file removes the app. Many open-source desktop apps offer an AppImage alongside DEB and RPM packages.
How to Open an AppImage File
- Linux
- Right-click, open Properties, allow executing as a program, then double-click. Or run chmod +x file.AppImage and ./file.AppImage.
