I'm sometimes working on the command line (or in the Ranger file manager), and it's annoying to have to move to a graphical interface to double-click on a AppImage. It looks like Ranger tries xdg-open; I tried that on the command line, myself, and that fails. My permissions are correct, so how can I actually run an AppImage from the command line?

Perhaps by including the complete path like this: `/path/to/file.AppImage` (without the initial dot). – Veles Jan 07 '21 at 20:33

Making it executable chmod +x file and running it with ./file worked for me.

2Example of a run instruction is: `$ ./Tulip-5.7.1.AppImage` to make it more pedagogic – the world is not flat May 12 '23 at 10:59
