I have never ever used an appimage before until just now.
Earlier today, I saw on Phoronix that Krita had a new beta version.
So I went to their website, clicked on nightly build and could not find a beta,
but did find an alpha. I downloaded
the Linux version which was an appimage.
I went to the Fedora Wiki about appimages and followed the 3 step guide to using appimages
and was surprised how simple it was.
Krita 4.4 alpha works nominally on Fedora. so if there is a beta somewhere, then I guess
it would too.
In order to try this new version of Krita,
one must understand the basic file system layout in Fedora which in my case
is: /david/Downloads/krita4.4.appimage
use cd command in terminal to change to Downloads
In my case, that was as simple as: $ cd Downloads
next easy step ( after the $ in terminal )
type chmod +x krita-4.4.0-alpha-x86_64.appimage
( you can cut and paste the file name to simplify that, as it has some extra stuff in it )
Exit terminal, and go back to Files
Just double-click on the Krita appimage file in Files afterwards.
Please let me know if there is a simpler way. I imagine you might want to move
it from Downloads directory to a temporary directory or an custom directory that you
created for appimages ??
