appim

A lightweight cli tool that lets you install and uninstall appimages.

Install

sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WalkingGarbage/appim/main/appim.sh > /usr/local/bin/appim
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/appim

Dependencies

Optional: fzf for file selection in case appim can't find the application icon.

Usage

Flag Description
-i,-s Installs the appimage
-r Uninstalls the appimage
-l Lists installed appimages
-u Updates appim

Note: The name of the desktop entry will be the name of the AppImage, so if you want to rename the application edit the name of the file before installing it.

Example:

appim -i balenaEtcher-1.13.1-x64.AppImage

will install Balena Etcher under the name balenaEtcher-1.13.1-x64. To uninstall it:

appim -r balenaEtcher-1.13.1-x64.AppImage

Locations

In case you want to manually edit something:

  • AppImages final location: $HOME/Applications

  • Desktop entries: $HOME/.local/share/applications

  • Icons: $HOME/.local/share/icons

  • temp (gets automatically deleted): $HOME/.cache/appim
