Installing

  1. 3. Downloading Plex Media Player

    Download Plex Media Player AppImage GNU/Linux

    Plex Media Player .AppImage

    Possibly, on Firefox Prompt Choose “Open with AppImageLauncher” or “Save File”:

    Instead, on Google-Chrome simply try to Choose the Package on the Bottom Panel:

  2. 4. Launching Plex Media Player

    Finally, Launch & Enjoy Plex Media Player
    If Not Prompeted by AppImageLauncher on File Manager Right-Click > Open with AppImageLauncher:

    Open with AppImageLauncher

    Or simply Double-Click on it!
    On prompt choose to “Integrate and Run”:

    Integrate and Run

    Then you can easily make use of the Desktop Launcher:

    But instead without AppImageLauncher, first give Execution Permissions with:

    chmod +x ~/Downloads/Plex_Media_Player*.AppImage

    Then to Run it simply Double-Click in the File Manager…
    But if you are in Trouble to Find the Location on Terminal then See: How to Access Downloads Folder from Browser.
    And then to Run it from Terminal use:

    ~/Downloads/Plex_Media_Player*.AppImage
