Hi I want to install Joplin in an easy way on Kubuntu 17.10. I only saw the appimage download. Which seems to be complicated for non IT users. Downloading and making executable is easy. Double clicking the file runs the appimage and it offers the option to “install” Joplin. (So far it looks good) …

Currently only the AppImage is officially supported and there’s no deb or ppa package. I don’t use Linux much these days and not sure what’s the correct way to handle AppImage files in general - is there no package manager or similar? (i.e. you open the AppImage via that manager and they install it …

Thanks, there is no apparent manager for appimages. So no way to see what’s installed and uninstall. Which is why its not a good solution.

otherwise it is not so complicate to build his own Joplin version from the source. I was not warm but I could and that was clear with the doc.

I’m just trying to help, by pointing out real problems with appimage. And no solution is in sight.

@ianp5a Why is this in category Feature requests and not in User support? You are clearly asking a question. The Feature requests category is for discussing or suggesting feature requests.

We take our marks with the forum, not really focus on the offtopic content but more on the content itself :grinning:

Ok, in that case I won’t comment on these matters anymore, but I can tell you that it’s gonna be a mess at some point (especially if you decide to create more categories), when people open topics in the wrong category.

So far most posts seem to be on topic. If not, feel free to keep flagging them and we’ll move them as needed.

Yes. It’s tricky to decide sometimes. But this is a request for an easier install solution.
