# AppImage Assets

This directory contains assets specific to AppImage packaging.

## Required Files
- **Icon**: App icon embedded in the AppImage (PNG, 512x512 recommended)
- **Desktop file**: For desktop integration when AppImage is executed
- **AppRun**: Custom AppRun script if needed (usually auto-generated)

## AppImage Features
- **Portable**: Single file that runs on most Linux distributions
- **No installation**: Direct execution from download
- **Desktop integration**: Automatic when run for the first time

## Distribution
- AppImages are self-contained executable files
- Can be distributed directly or through AppImageHub
- Users can run directly: `./pCloud-x86_64.AppImage`

## Best Practices
- Include all necessary dependencies in the AppImage
- Test on various Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, etc.)
- Keep file size reasonable while including all dependencies
- Provide update mechanisms through AppImageUpdate if needed
