Step by step: AppImage

1. Download the latest AppImage

Start by downloading the latest AppImage package from the download page. You may move the downloaded file to any location you want. Please ensure that the name of the AppImage file doesn't contain any special characters (such as Scandinavian letters åäö, quotes, etc.).

2. Setup the file permissions

Now you need to set the correct permissions to the downloaded file. This can usually be easily done on most graphical Linux distributions. Open the file's properties by right clicking on the file, find the permissions tab and allow executing the file as a program.

Advanced users can also use their favourite terminal to do the task. The correct file permissions can be applied e.g. with chmod +x LMath*.AppImage

3. All done!

You are now ready to use L'Math! On most distros, you can open AppImage files by double clicking on them.
