使用 AppImageLauncher 轻松运行和集成 AppImage 文件
AppImage
你有没有下载过 AppImage 文件，而你不知道如何使用它？或许你可能知道如何使用它，但是你每次要运行它时必须要进入到下载了该 .AppImage 的文件夹中来运行它，或者手动为其创建启动程序。


使用 AppImageLauncher，这些就都是过去的问题。该程序可让你轻松运行 AppImage 文件，而无需使其可执行。但它最有趣的特点是可以轻松地将 AppImage 与你的系统进行整合：AppImageLauncher 可以自动将 AppImage 程序快捷方式添加到桌面环境的程序启动器/菜单（包括程序图标和合适的说明）中。


这 里有个例子，我想在 Ubuntu 上使用 [Kdenlive](https://kdenlive.org/download/)，但我不想从仓库中安装它，因为它有大量的 KDE 依赖，我不想把它们弄到我的 Gnome 系统中。因为没有它的 Flatpak 或 Snap 镜像，我只能去下载了 Kdenlive 的 AppImage。


在没有把下载的 [Kdenline](https://kdenlive.org/download/) AppImage 变成可执行的情况下，我第一次双击它时（安装好了 AppImageLauncher），AppImageLauncher 提供了两个选项：


“Run once”或者“Integrate and run”。

点击 “Integrate and run”，这个 AppImage 就被复制到 `~/.bin/` （家目录中的隐藏文件夹）并添加到菜单中，然后启动该程序。


要删除它也很简单，只要您使用的桌面环境支持桌面动作就行。例如，在 Gnome Shell 中，只需右键单击“活动概览”中的应用程序图标，然后选择“Remove from system”：

更新：该应用只初步为 Ubuntu 和 Mint 做了开发，但它最近会提供 Debian、 Netrunner 和 openSUSE 支持。本文首次发布后添加的另一个功能是支持 AppImage 的更新；你在启动器中可以找到 “Update AppImage”。


### 下载 AppImageLauncher


AppImageLauncher 支持 Ubuntu、 Debian、Netrunner 和 openSUSE。如果你使用 Ubuntu 18.04，请确保你下载的 deb 包的名字中有“bionic”，而其它的 deb 是用于旧一些的 Ubuntu 版本的。

# Easily Run And Integrate AppImage Files With AppImageLauncher

Did you ever download an AppImage file and you didn't know how to use it? Or maybe you know how to use it but you have to navigate to the folder where you downloaded the .AppImage file every time you want to run it, or manually create a launcher for it.


With


Here's an example. I want to use


Without making the downloaded Kdenline AppImage executable manually, the first time I double click it (having AppImageLauncher installed), AppImageLauncher presents two options: Run once or Integrate and run.



Clicking on Integrate and run, the AppImage is copied to the ~/Applications folder (in your home directory) and is added to the menu, then the app is launched.







AppImageLauncher supports Ubuntu, Debian, Netrunner and openSUSE. If you use Ubuntu 18.04, make sure to download the deb that includes "bionic" in its name, as the other deb is for older Ubuntu versions.

[AppImageLauncher](https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher), these are problems of the past. The application lets you**easily run AppImage files, without having to make them executable**. But its most interesting feature is easily integrating AppImages with your system:**AppImageLauncher can automatically add an AppImage application shortcut to your desktop environment's application launcher / menu (including the app icon and proper description).**Here's an example. I want to use

[Kdenlive](https://kdenlive.org/download/)in Ubuntu but I don't want to install it from the repositories, because it has a large number of KDE dependencies, and I don't want them on my Gnome system. Since there are no Flatpak or Snap images for it, I'll go ahead and download the Kdenlive AppImage.Without making the downloaded Kdenline AppImage executable manually, the first time I double click it (having AppImageLauncher installed), AppImageLauncher presents two options: Run once or Integrate and run.

**Updating or removing AppImage files is just as simple**, as long as the desktop environment you're using has support for desktop actions. For example, in Gnome Shell, simply**right click the application icon in the Activities Overview and select "Update AppImage" or "Remove from system**:"**Update:**The application was initially developed for Ubuntu and Linux Mint only, but it was recently updated with Debian, Netrunner and openSUSE support. Another feature added since this article was initially published is support for updating the AppImages; you should find an Update AppImage entry in the launcher now.## Download AppImageLauncher
