An "appimage" is a self-contained Linux app that runs on any Linux distribution, Debian, or whatever. Just download it to your home directory, make it executable, and run it. No installation is required.
The idea was copied from MacOS where all apps are distributed this way. Mac apps and Linux appimages don't have dependencies. They are self-contained. That said, they will only run on the kind of computer they were built on. Cura likely needs a 64 bit Intel system. I doubt it would run on a 32-bit system of a Raspberry Pi. BTW why would a "request for source code" need a reply? The project is hosted on Github. The code is publicly available at https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/ On Tue, Jun 2, 2020 at 9:40 AM Gene Heskett <ghesk...@shentel.net> wrote: > On Tuesday 02 June 2020 11:48:18 Dave Matthews wrote: > > > On Tue, Jun 2, 2020 at 11:39 AM Gene Heskett <ghesk...@shentel.net> > wrote: > > > On Tuesday 02 June 2020 05:57:59 Chris Albertson wrote: > > > > Docs?
