Install AppImage

Starting with version v0.10.0 we now distribute vicinae as an AppImage. The AppImage release is meant for users that run older systems, don't have vicinae packaged for their distribution, or can't compile it from source.

Requirements

You need fuse installed on your system in order to run AppImages in general. You may also need to install libqalculate in order to get working currency conversion.

Get AppImage

Download the AppImage from the latest GitHub release. You are looking for the file ending with .AppImage.

Run AppImage

Make the AppImage executable, and then simply run it as you would run the regular vicinae binary:

chmod +x Vicinae-c5d11870-x86_64.AppImage
./Vicinae-c5d11870-x86_64.AppImage server

And with that, you should be good to go!

Known caveats

On some distributions, vicinae seems to be unable to connect to the proper system keyring and fails to write the clipboard history encryption key, resulting in a non functional clipboard history. If this happens to you feel free to open an issue.
