## AppImages
54+
55+
An [AppImage](https://appimage.org/) is a file that bundles an application with
56+
everything needed to run it. An AppImage can be used by making it executable and
57+
running it; installation is not required. AppImages can be run in a sandbox,
58+
such as [firejail](https://firejail.wordpress.com/).
59+
60+
Some of the applications for which an AppImage is available can be found on
61+
[AppImageHub](https://appimage.github.io/).
62+
63+
AppImages do not yet work on musl installations.
