Deployment / Build for Linux
From terminal from root of app, run the deployment script
npm install
Then
npm run build:linux
It creates a
cache
and a build
folder. cache
is a folder used by deploy to keep the latest version needed to build and package the app, to avoid having to re-download it every time. While the packaged app ready for use can be found in the build
folder.Download an application, make it executable, and run! No need to install. No system libraries or system preferences are altered.Distribute your desktop Linux application in the AppImage format and win users running all common Linux distributions. Package once and run everywhere. Reach users on all major desktop distributions.
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

- Applications packaged as an AppImage can run on many distributions (including Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, elementaryOS, Linux Mint, and others)
- One app = one file = super simple for users: just download one AppImage file, make it executable, and run
- No unpacking or installation necessary
- No root needed
- No system libraries changed
- Works out of the box, no installation of runtimes needed
- Optional desktop integration with
appimaged
- Optional binary delta updates, e.g., for continuous builds (only download the binary diff) using AppImageUpdate
- Can optionally GPG2-sign your AppImages (inside the file)
- Works on Live ISOs
- Can use the same AppImages when dual-booting multiple distributions
- Can double as a self-extracting compressed archive with the
--appimage-extract
parameter
Here is an overview of projects that are already distributing upstream-provided, official AppImages.
If you have questions, AppImage developers are on #AppImage on irc.freenode.net.
