Installing

  1. 3. Downloading RetroShare

    Download RetroShare AppImage GNU/Linux:

    RetroShare .AppImage

    The AppImage may Not be Verified so to Run it Securely in a Sandbox you should see the Firejail Setup.
    Possibly, on Firefox Prompt Choose “Open with AppImageLauncher” or “Save File”:

    Firefox Prompt

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

    Chrome Bottom Panel Downloads
  2. 4. Launching RetroShare

    Finally, Launch & Enjoy RetroShare
    If Not Prompet from 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

    In case of a “Failed to register AppImage in system via libappimage” Issue then follow the below Instructions…
    So instead without AppImageLauncher, first possibly give Execution Permissions with:

    chmod +x ~/Downloads/retroshare*.AppImage

    Or if it’s already on the AppImageLauncher Target instead:

    chmod +x ~/Applications/retroshare*.AppImage

    Next 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.
    Else to Run it from Terminal use:

    ~/Downloads/retroshare*.AppImage

    Or respectivelly:

    ~/retroshare*.AppImage
