Unlike other applications, AppImages do not need to be installed before they can be used. However, they need to be marked as executable before they can be run. This is a Linux security feature.īehold! AppImages are usually not verified by others.

Using this tool, FocusWriter can be updated by downloading only the portions of the AppImage that have actually changed since the last version. If you would like to have the executable bit set automatically, and would like to see FocusWriter and other AppImages integrated into the system (menus, icons, file type associations, etc.), then you may want to check the optional appimaged daemon. ![]()
