Registering AppImage as Desktop App in Ubuntu / Mint
Posted on 2 mins
AppImage is a new packaging format that eliminates the need for building applications specific to distributions like Debian’s .deb or OpenSUSE/Fedora’s .rpm. AppImage can be used on any distribution, thats what makes it attractive to developers as they don’t have to build multiple packages tailored to different distributions. AppImage is not exactly an install package; it’s the app itself bundled together with the dependencies it needs. To “install” the AppImage package, all you have to do is make it executable and run it.
