Can you create an AppImage file to make it easier to install on all Linux versions?
It would be much easier!
Thanks!

AppImage doesn't support the level of device access MC needs.

jolugaju:
I didn't know that. It's a pity.
Thanks for the answer.

jolugaju:
I have checked with people from the AppImage project and this is what they told me ...

"They are definitely not right because AppImage does not restrict what an application can do in any way. After all, an AppImage is really just a self-mounting filesystem that, when executed, runs whatever its developer has put inside it. Maybe they are confusing it with Snappy (by Canonical) or Flatpak (by Red Hat) which come with mandatory sandboxing"

So I ask for you to consider to make someday an AppImage version to install/use your software.
I know I'm only one single customer but I think this is a wonderful solution. This way every user could install/use the program no matter what GNU Linux distribution is using.

Greetings!

Great idea. I'm using opensuse and, right now, I can't get mc work on it. Tried the docker that is here in the forum but I'm still can't make it work.
I'm waiting, until an appimage can be there, a script like the fedora one.

Regards
