How to get started with AppImage 🛠️

Running the AppImage is a simple, three-step process that can be done entirely through the terminal.

Step 1: Download the AppImage

Download the latest version from our official website using the wget command. This will save the file directly into your current directory.

$ wget https://download.onlyoffice.com/install/desktop/editors/linux/DesktopEditors-x86_64.AppImage

Step 2: Make it executable

Before you can run the AppImage, you need to give the file permission to be executed. The chmod a+x command makes the file executable for all users on the system.

$ chmod a+x DesktopEditors-x86_64.AppImage

Step 3: Run the editors

Now you can launch the application directly from your terminal. Just execute the file you downloaded.

$ ./DesktopEditors-x86_64.AppImage

Perfect! The ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors suite will now start. You've done it! You can begin creating and editing your documents immediately.

For developers: Building from source 👨‍💻

If you prefer to build the AppImage from the source code yourself, follow these steps.

Step 1: Install dependencies

First, ensure you have the necessary tools to build the project. This command installs build-essential, git, and wget on Debian-based systems like Ubuntu.

sudo apt-get install --force-yes -yq \  
    build-essential \  
    git \  
    wget

Step 2: Get the source code

Clone this repository to download the build scripts and configuration files to your local machine.

git clone https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/appimage-desktopeditors.git

Step 3: Compile the AppImage

Navigate into the project directory you just cloned and run the make command. This will clean any previous builds and then compile the new AppImage.

cd appimage-desktopeditors  
make clean && make

Once the process is complete, the compiled AppImage will be available in the project folder, ready to run.
