AppImage¶
AppImage is a universal package format that attempts to bundle dependencies that an application requires into one portable file. They can be installed by downloading any file with a .AppImage file extension and then giving it executable permissions in the file's properties so the application can run properly. Like Windows executable files, they are usually found on the project's website to download. You should only download AppImages from sources that you trust.
Gear Lever¶
Applications installed as an AppImage can integrate with your desktop and be managed with Gear Lever which you can install in Bazaar. Gear Lever will also check for new updates, but upgrades will still need to be applied manually. It is highly recommended to install Gear Lever to manage AppImages.
