<p>Hi Gilles, <br>
I've been reading about AppImages, and it seems to me that they're
not designed for long term use - the whole no install thing. Do I
misunderstand?</p></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>AppImage is like the other bundle under linux as Snap or Flatpak (you use already one of this previously), excepted the non chroot mechanism which restrict access to the system by the application. This is a heresy for me. Since a very long time, Linux application work fine without restrictions, why to mime, Windows here, as we know that system is badly designed from the start...<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>
<p>What's the best way to install Digikam on linux? I'm very new to
this whole linux thing.</p></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Try the AppImage. It just a stand alone executable which will uncompress in a temp dir all the necessary to run digiKam. Just pin the file from your desktop to start it. That all. The rest, application work like a native one.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://appimage.org/">https://appimage.org/</a></div><div><br></div><div>Gilles Caulier </div></div></div>
