I'm sometimes working on the command line (or in the Ranger file manager), and it's annoying to have to move to a graphical interface to double-click on a AppImage. It looks like Ranger tries xdg-open; I tried that on the command line, myself, and that fails. My permissions are correct, so how can I actually run an AppImage from the command line?

Making it executable chmod +x file and running it with ./file worked for me.

    Example of a run instruction is: $ ./Tulip-5.7.1.AppImage to make it more pedagogic Commented May 12, 2023 at 10:59
