Please provide Linux AppImage for download
Closed this issue · 8 comments
This project is already set up to produce AppImages, so it would be nice if you could provide one for download on GitHub Releases.

Providing an AppImage would have, among others, these advantages:
- Applications packaged as an AppImage can run on many distributions (including Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, elementaryOS, Linux Mint, and others)
- One app = one file = super simple for users: just download one AppImage file, make it executable, and run
- No unpacking or installation necessary
- No root needed
- No system libraries changed
- Works out of the box, no installation of runtimes needed
- Optional desktop integration with
appimaged
- Optional binary delta updates, e.g., for continuous builds (only download the binary diff) using AppImageUpdate
- Can optionally GPG2-sign your AppImages (inside the file)
- Works on Live ISOs
- Can use the same AppImages when dual-booting multiple distributions
- Can be listed in the AppImageHub central directory of available AppImages
- Can double as a self-extracting compressed archive with the
--appimage-extract
parameter
Here is an overview of projects that are already distributing upstream-provided, official AppImages.
If you have questions, AppImage developers are on #AppImage on irc.freenode.net.
@probonopd Thanks for the advice. Will add the App Image soon.
Hi @probonopd I am not able to create an AppImage. I think the problem is that i am trying to build the AppImage on MacOS while my project has a native dependency. Can you help me out here?
Getting this error:
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/gettext/lib/libintl.8.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/USER/Library/Caches/electron-builder/appimage/appimage-9.0.4/darwin/appimagetool
Reason: image not found
@probonopd I have added the AppImage in the releases.
You can check it out here and please provide your review.

Re-running the tests: https://travis-ci.org/AppImage/appimage.github.io/builds/334516330
Works 👍
Great :)
