AppImage — the simplest format, no installation is needed.

It does not install at all, it works like a regular .exe in Windows.

Here’s how to use it correctly:

✅ How to run AppImage

  • Grant execute permissions

Once:

CODE
chmod +x electron-vite-template-ru-1.0.0.AppImage
  • Run:
CODE
./electron-vite-template-ru-1.0.0.AppImage

And that’s it. No installation, dependencies, or packages — AppImage is self-sufficient.

📁 Where to store AppImage?

For example:

  • ~/Applications
  • ~/Programs
  • ~/Desktop
  • ~/Downloads

AppImage works from anywhere, it is portable.

🔧 Can it be added to the application menu?

Command:

CODE
./electron-vite-template-ru-1.0.0.AppImage --appimage-register

This will create a .desktop file and an icon in the menu.

To remove:

CODE
./electron-vite-template-ru-1.0.0.AppImage --appimage-unregister
