How to install “.appimage” files in Linux Ubuntu

Yes, Linux; the Linux packages are distributed as an “.appimage” for 32-bit and 64-bit distributions, and should run across all major Linux distributions without any issues. The team currently has no plan to provide a native .deb (or .rpm) installer.

Installation from GUI:

I created a software to install all type of “.appImage” file from a GUI: github.com/francesco-gaglione/AppHub Hope this is helpfull 

Regarding installation from Terminal:

I am quoting the appImage project page here:

AppImages can be downloaded and run without installation or the need for root rights.

Making it executable

You can make the appImage executable as follows:

chmod a+x exampleName.AppImage

Executing it

You can execute an appImage as follows:

./exampleName.AppImage
