    How do you actually install an AppImage? I figured out how to use them, but not how to install them.

      You don’t install them. You just give them the permission to run and then run them.

      There is no install needed, you can just edit permissions and make the file executable and then when you open it or click it the app runs.

      What won’t be created by default is an application menu to run it from whatever desktop environment you use. You can create those if you wish. You can create a launcher in the menu manually, or you can use a tool called AppImageLauncher to create these for you.

      There’s a pretty good explanation here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1311600/add-an-appimage-application-to-the-top-menu-bar
