# Linux AppImage Preview
|
|
|
|
EdgeEver provides an x86_64 AppImage Preview on each formal GitHub Release.
|
|
The package is built and verified on Ubuntu 22.04 to keep the Rust sidecar at a
|
|
glibc 2.35 baseline. Newer Ubuntu releases, Debian 12, and current Fedora
|
|
releases are expected to work but remain best-effort during the Preview.
|
|
|
|
Download `EdgeEver-<version>-linux-x64.AppImage` and
|
|
`SHA256SUMS-linux.txt` from the same official Release, then run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sha256sum --check SHA256SUMS-linux.txt
|
|
chmod +x EdgeEver-*-linux-x64.AppImage
|
|
./EdgeEver-*-linux-x64.AppImage
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The checksum detects a damaged or mismatched download; it is not a code-signing
|
|
identity. Do not download the Preview from third-party mirrors.
|
|
|
|
The Preview checks formal GitHub Releases for updates, downloads a newer
|
|
AppImage in the background, and replaces the current AppImage after you choose
|
|
to restart. Releases must pass a real AppImage-to-AppImage cross-version gate
|
|
before publication. Versions released before automatic updates were enabled
|
|
still require one final manual replacement.
|
|
|
|
Automatic replacement requires write access to both the current AppImage and
|
|
its containing directory. An AppImage kept in a user-owned Downloads or
|
|
Applications directory normally satisfies this requirement. A system-wide copy
|
|
owned by an administrator, such as one under `/opt`, must be updated manually
|
|
or made writable by the administrator.
|
|
|
|
An AppImage does not install a desktop launcher or file associations by itself.
|
|
Desktop integration can be managed by the user's AppImage launcher or desktop
|
|
environment. If the host cannot mount AppImages, try:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./EdgeEver-*-linux-x64.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When reporting a Linux-specific problem, include the distribution, desktop
|
|
environment, display protocol (Wayland or X11), architecture, and the EdgeEver
|
|
system diagnostics.
