AppImage Installer

A simple Python script to install AppImages system-wide with proper integration for application launchers and CLI usage.

Why?

I love using ulauncher to quickly find and launch applications, and I also enjoy running programs from the command line (like code .). This script makes AppImages work seamlessly with both:

  • Creates .desktop files for launcher integration (ulauncher, rofi, etc.)
  • Creates CLI symlinks so you can run apps from terminal
  • Organizes AppImages in /opt/appimages/

Usage

    python3 appimage-installer.py <path_to_appimage> <app_name>

or install it on the path with

make install

What it does

  1. Moves AppImage to /opt/appimages/
  2. Creates symlink in /usr/local/bin/ for CLI access
  3. Creates .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/ for launcher integration
