The difference is, if the install script puts data into /home /usr/local or /rw. If it puts data into anywhere else (e.g. if it installs a package) then it can only be in a Template.

What makes the difference between if an application can and cannot be installed only in a AppVM ?

    Thank you for your advices.

    In case you would like to know, here is a description of the
    application called "Maple": https://maplesoft.com/products/Maple/
    <https://maplesoft.com/products/Maple/> and
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple
    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple>

    Regarding the "Fedora-30 template", if it has ended it's life
    long time ago, then why is it still the template version in Qubes
    R4.0.3 or is it just the shown name of the template in the Qubes
    Applicatons menu ?

    Because Qubes ISOs are offline (the reason they are so big) and
    are created manually.

    There is work on R4.0.4 which has Fedora 32, however it might be a
    few days before it gets released


    Do I understand you correctly "unman", that I can choose to
    either install the application in a template or just in a AppVM,
    and if so how do I only install it in a AppVM ?

    It depends on the application. We don't know it.

    I know if you are using Snap (and maybe appimage or flatpak) you
    can install in an AppVM.

        If you're looking for specific advice on how to install it,
        the first
        thing to do is to check what *sort* of file it is. You can do
        this using
        the `file` command.
        But from the "run" suffix, I'm guessing it's an installer
        script. You
        would need to check that it is executable by running `ls -l`,
        or make it
        so using `chmod +x`

        I don't know Maple: you may or may not be able to install it
        in a
        template. If it is intended to be installed in the home
        directory, then
        you should run it in /etc/skel in the template and install it
        there.
        Then it will appear in the /home/user directory in qubes
        created from
        that template.
        Otherwise install it in the home directory in a qube. You can
        always
        clone that to other qubes.

        When you've determined the best approach, please document it
        here so
        other users can benefit from your experience.
