HowTo Run AppImage

TL;DR

• Download AppImage file - e.g. NixNote-2.1.0-alfa10-x86_64.AppImage
• Mark as executable
  • e.g. in file manager
  • or from command line by executing chmod a+x NixNote*.AppImage
• See intro on appimage.org - https://youtu.be/nzZ6Ikc7juw
• Optional: rename & move to some directory on your $PATH
• Optional: create desktop icon

Mark as executable

Example - using file manager

Example - chmod

Run

Simple as: ./NixNote-2.1.0-x86_64.AppImage (or just double click on it in file manager :) )

Rename & move

Optional step: move somewhere you like it. You may remove the "AppImage" extension or let it there - its up to you. Has no influence on the app.

Command line: mv NixNote-2.1.0-x86_64.AppImage $HOME/bin/nixnote21

Desktop icon

Optional step: create desktop icon. Note following part is for Ubuntu, but should be similar for other linux distributions (there should be plenty howto's online..).

Create/open file $HOME/Desktop/NixNote2.desktop in your text editor (e.g. gedit). Suggested content:

Name=NixNote v2.1
Comment=NixNote v2.1
Exec=/opt/bin/nixnote21
Icon=/opt/bin/nixnote21.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Network
Name[en_US]=NixNote21
Comment[en_US.UTF-8]=NixNote21

• Download nixnote21.png - icon file and save it in the same directory as you put the AppImage binary.
• Change /opt/bin/ in the example, to the real path where you did put the binary and icon
