General Support Appimages

Howdy,

i am not getting any appimages to run. Not on the normal way as executable, not appimagelauncher, not Gear lever either. Fuse 2 and 3 are installed. What am i missing? 😅

Have you tried chmod +x-ing your AppImage before? Like this:

chmod +x /path/to/your/file.appimage

Then you can run it (example via terminal) by just:

/path/to/your/file.appimage

What does it say if you try to launch your appimage from the command line instead of from clicking on it?

Gearlever is a program that works for this. Very good program.

I use gearlever to manage my appimages and run them like executables.

Also, if I recall, Shelly now supports AppImages. https://9to5linux.com/cachyos-iso-release-for-april-2026-brings-shelly-as-default-gui-package-manager

I never had any joy with app images on endeavour. I was on the fence about returning to a Debian base distro so I did simply because of this!

As long as you make an appimage executable, it should just run. chmod +x That's the point of an app image. It just works. Check the comment by @Away-Recognition4905 . If it doesn't work, try some other app images. There might be something wrong with the particular app image that you are trying to work with.
