Hi All I have been watching this subject with interest as I'm also desperately wanting to try the latest Scribus but my OpSys eill not update until it is "stable"!!
I can not get the AppImage to work on my OpSys, (PClinuxOS 64-bit), as mentioned before. I followed Martin and Ale's method - the AppImage, (scribus-git51e1f0d-glibc2.14-x86-64.appimage), is executable, I used chmod for this and the 'Properties' Tab confirms this. I do not find a 'Run' option when I Right-Click the file name only a 'Run as Root'. Selecting this does nothing at all. Double-Clicking the file itself brings up a Box asking if I want to add this to the Main Menu, which I accept, but nothing else happens!! This is most frustrating as I really need to move up to the latest version for the production of my monthly Journal. Any additional suggestions will be appreciated!! Thanks!!
