### AppImage desktop integration
|
||||
|
||||
AppImages are not fully standalone, and they require additional steps to enable
|
||||
full "desktop integration":
|
||||
|
||||
- Showing the app icon,
|
||||
- Surfacing the app in the list of installed apps,
|
||||
- Handling redirection after passkey verification.
|
||||
|
||||
All the ways of enabling AppImage desktop integration are mentioned in
|
||||
[AppImage documentation](https://docs.appimage.org/user-guide/run-appimages.html#integrating-appimages-into-the-desktop).
|
||||
|
||||
For example, you can download the
|
||||
[appimaged](https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage/releases) AppImage, run it,
|
||||
and then download the Ente Photos AppImage into your `~/Downloads` folder.
|
||||
_appimaged_ will then pick it up automatically.
