AppImages do not need to be installed. All you have to do is download them, make them executable and run them. This can either be done using the GUI or via the command line.

Download and change mode

Download the NEST Desktop AppImage from the releases page and make it executable using your file manager or by entering the following commands in a terminal:

chmod +x ./nest-desktop-*.AppImage

Start

Click the nest-desktop-x.y.z.AppImage file to run NEST Desktop.

Note

The AppImage contains only frontend interface and doesn’t include the backends. Thus, you have to start the API server of backends manually. For more information please read the instructions here.
