I have just used my first ever AppImage last week and had similar questions.
Since I tend to make several typos in a line like this "chmod +x scribus-1.5.2-linux-x86_64.AppImage" and since I can never remember syntax anyway, I just right-click in some file-explorer and go "properties" and "access rights" and click to make it executable. Same thing as Greg was saying. Then I double click on the AppImage file or right-click and pick "run" and nothing happens for several seconds. Then the Scribus windows pops up right-away, no more fancy dialogue, no configuration, just a ready-to-work Scribus. It was rather a pleasant surprise. (This was on a very recent OpenSuse, I believe something with 24 or 42 in its name, am travelling). hth Martin On 02.03.2017 00:57, Gregory Pittman wrote: > On 03/01/2017 01:49 PM, scrib at wexfordpress.com wrote: >> In my continuous serch for a 1.5.x version that will actually work on my >> slackware 14,2 rig >> I downloaded this file: >> >> scribus-1.5.2-linux-x86_64.AppImage >> >> This is supposed to run on any linux box. >> >> Running as root or as a user I get the same message >> >> cannot execute binary file: Exec format error >> >> How do i run this file?
