If it doesn’t work, open Terminal and run `chmod a+x Kiwix.JS.Electron*.AppImage` and then `./Kiwix.JS.Electron*.AppImage`. On **Debian**, you will probably need to add the `--no-sandbox` switch to the command like this `./Kiwix.JS.Electron*.AppImage --no-sandbox` (see https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/17972#issuecomment-516957971).

+ _Debian/Ubuntu_: download the correct `.deb` package. Open a terminal, `cd` to the directory containing the package, and type `sudo apt install ./kiwix-js-electron*.deb`. Once installed, on **Debian**, you may have to run the app by opening terminal and typing `kiwix-js-electron --no-sandbox`. On **Ubuntu**, you should be able to run it from its installed icon. When you want to update, just install the new version, and it will install over the old version. + _Debian/Ubuntu_: download the correct `.deb` package.

+ _OpenSUSE_: download the correct `.rpm` package. You probably won't be able to install this with the File manager due to a dependency issue. Instead, open a Terminal with superuser privileges, navigate to the directory containing the `.rpm` package, and type `zypper install kiwix-js-electron-*.rpm`. You may be informed about a missing dependency `libuuid`. It is safe to ignore this dependency, the app will still correctly install and run. Choose "Solution 2: break kiwix-js-electron... by ignoring some of its dependencies'. On older versions of OpenSUSE, when you run the app, you may need to add the commandline switches `--use-gl=disabled --disable-gpu-compositing`, but this appears to be resolved recently.¹ + _OpenSUSE_: download the correct `.rpm` package.
