I ran so many of these options and not a single one helped. I just can't seem to be able to run AppImages on Ubuntu 20.04 on my Raspberry Pi 4 8 GB. Specifically, I want to run AppImages from Trezor wallet and Ledger wallet, but I even tried some random AppImages from appimage.org.

Nothing happens if I run the AppImages; sometimes they would just give me an error. It's like my Ubuntu just doesn't have the filesystem to be able to run AppImages.

I don't know what app I need to install at this point to get AppImages to run. I even went to the official AppImage website (appimage.org) and all I could find there was these commands which do not work:

chmod a+x exampleName.AppImage
./exampleName.AppImage

    Hmmm. I downloaded and ran an AppImage yesterday by doing exactly the steps that seem to not work for you. How curious – user535733 Oct 25 '21 at 03:58
  • What is your Ubuntu version? Desktop environment? Run conditions? What is CPU architecture of system? What is CPU architecture of AppImage? – N0rbert Oct 25 '21 at 08:16
  • You said you tried: "chmod a+x exampleName.AppImage./exampleName.AppImage" Did you navigate to the same directory that your .AppImage was in? (using the cd command.) Also, did you use sudo? "sudo chmod a+x exampleName.AppImage./exampleName.AppImage – Best Codes Dec 13 '22 at 03:25

Try the following way in a terminal:

./exampleName.AppImage --disable-gpu --no-sandbox

where exampleName.AppImage is the name of the AppImage app you want to run.

Most of the time problems with AppImages are GPU's fault. Also, after installing Ubuntu 22.04, almost all my AppImages are crashing without this command.

AppImage requires the fuse3 package, which may not be installed by default. Install it and retry.

Presuming you downloaded the image to ~/Downloads, then open your Terminal, and do this:

cd ~/Downloads
sudo chmod 750 ./example.appimage
./example.appimage

Make sure you are in the correct working directory and try sudo in case you lack permissions to the directory for some odd reason. Other than that, should work fine.

  • One should be very careful when using sudo. In your second command, the use of sudo is superfluous, since you are in a directory inside your ~, for which you should already have permissions to change things, so chmod 750 ./example.appimage should be enough. Also, suggesting to blindly run sudo to gain permissions for a directory is wrong and I guess that this is the reason your answer is downvoted. – BeastOfCaerbannog Jun 11 '22 at 17:10
  • Thanks for your feedback - very helpful. – oemb1905 Jun 14 '22 at 20:56
