From Alpine Linux

AppImages allow a simple executable like experience on Linux, but the problem is that AppImages require glibc and alpine uses musl.

Installation

First you need FUSE for AppImages to work and modprobe it.

# apk add fuse
# modprobe fuse

Optional but recommended install gcompat for glibc compatibility.

# apk add gcompat

Usage

You have to make the AppImage executable, so you can execute it.

Example

$ chmod +x Example.AppImage
$ ./Example.AppImage
