DO NOT USE!

Unless you really want to use the squashfs uruntime, there is no real reason to use this appimagetool, it only supports squashfs.

Use the DWARFS uruntime, it is a lot better in every single measurable way, you can use this script instead for that.

This is a fork of AppImage/appimagetool that uses the squashfs uruntime instead of the type2-runtime by default.

The uruntime is fully compatible to with the type2-runtime and offers advatnages such as:

  • Automatically extract and run when fuse is not available.

  • Keep the filesystem mounted for even faster launch times.

  • Easily set extra env variables by making a $0.env file with the variables to be set, similar to the existing portable $0.home and $0.config feature of the type2-runtime.

  • Have a portable ~/.local/share dir by making a $0.share directory.
