ds9-appimage

Builds of SAOImage DS9 in the AppImage format

Release cycle

This repository uses GitHub Actions to make weekly AppImage builds of SAOImage DS9 in two variants:

• Latest tag
• Continuous build

NOTE: This project does not build beta versions of DS9

Installation

Download an AppImage from the releases section, make it executable, and run.

Newer Ubuntu systems may require the libfuse2 library:

$ sudo apt install libfuse2

Motivation

I began this project primarily for research purposes because I've been wanting to learn how to distribute software in the AppImage format for a while.

I decided to start with DS9 because it's a piece of software I'm familiar with, and it's relatively easy to build.
