I installed an AppImage on my laptop with Lubuntu 18.04.5 but I can't get it to run. When I click on the "properties" tab of the AppImage, I can't see the setting that says "Allow executing files as program" so I'm not sure what I should do. If anyone is wondering, the AppImage I am trying to install is Ripcord, a rewritten version of discord meant for 32-bit systems.

5Does this answer your question? What is an "AppImage"? How do I install it? – ldias Mar 06 '21 at 20:05

To run an AppImage you need to first give executing permissions then you run it, I do not know where to give the permissions in Lubuntu but I know how to do them in the terminal
sudo chmod +x /path/to/file.AppImage
then you can run by clicking the file on the file manager or by executing it on the terminal
xproot
