<p>Hi All</p>
<p>I have been watching this subject with interest as I'm also
desperately wanting to try the latest Scribus but my OpSys eill
not update until it is "stable"!!</p>
<p>I can not get the AppImage to work on my OpSys, (PClinuxOS
64-bit), as mentioned before.</p>
<p>I followed Martin and Ale's method - the AppImage,
(scribus-git51e1f0d-glibc2.14-x86-64.appimage), is executable, I
used chmod for this and the 'Properties' Tab confirms this. I do
not find a 'Run' option when I Right-Click the file name only a
'Run as Root'. Selecting this does nothing at all. Double-Clicking
the file itself brings up a Box asking if I want to add this to
the Main Menu, which I accept, but nothing else happens!!</p>
<p>This is most frustrating as I really need to move up to the
latest version for the production of my monthly Journal.</p>
<p>Any additional suggestions will be appreciated!! Thanks!!</p>

when you're in a terminal you can use the tab key to complete a
file name:

<blockquote class=" cite" id="Cite_9371987" type="cite">scribus-1.5.2-linux-x86_64.AppImage"
and since I can never remember
<br>
syntax anyway, I just right-click in some file-explorer and go
<br>
"properties" and "access rights" and click to make it
executable. Same
<br>
thing as Greg was saying.
<br>
<br>
Then I double click on the AppImage file or right-click and pick
"run"
<br>
and nothing happens for several seconds.

<br>
yes, using a file manager to make the appimage executable and
double clicking it is a very good way to do that.
<br>
<br>
if it fails, running from the terminal can give you some further
debugging infos, but using a file manager is the right think to
do!
