# Linux installation instructions
## AppImage
Download the AppImage and type the following:
1. `chmod +x marktext-%version%-x86_64.AppImage`
2. `./marktext-%version%-x86_64.AppImage`
3. Now you can decide whether you want to install Mark Text (yes) or just execute it (no).
### Installation
You cannot really install a AppImage. It's just a file which can be integrated with your desktop environment. The only thing you have to do is to execute Mark Text and click `Yes` on dialog.
### Uninstall
1. Delete AppImage file
2. Delete `~/.local/share/applications/appimagekit-marktext.desktop`
3. Delete your user settings: `~/.config/marktext`
### Custom launch script
1. Save AppImage somewhere. Let's say `~/bin/marktext.AppImage`
2. `chmod +x ~/bin/marktext.AppImage`
3. Create a launch script:
```sh
#!/bin/bash
DESKTOPINTEGRATION=0 ~/bin/marktext.AppImage
```
### Extract application (not recommended)
1. `./marktext-%version%-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract`
2. Move Mark Text into another location: `mkdir ~/bin/marktext && mv squashfs-root/app/* ~/bin/marktext`
3. Delete `squashfs-root` folder
### Known issues
- Mark Text is always integrated into desktop environment after updating
