Follow the installation instructions below to run the AppImage.\n\n## 📦 Builds\n\n1. Ghostty AppImages are available for both **x86_64** and **aarch64** systems.\n1. Stable builds are based on upstream releases, with minor fixes and patches released as **version+1** tag(s).\n1. Daily nightly builds, based on the upstream [tip releases](https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/releases/tag/tip), are built and released at **00:00 UTC every day** and are available as pre-releases in the [releases](https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/ghostty-appimage/releases/tag/tip) section.\n\n## ⚙️ Installation\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003cb\u003eCommand Line (Manual)\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/summary\u003e\n\nRun the following commands in your terminal:\n\n```bash\n# Download the latest AppImage package from releases\nwget https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/ghostty-appimage/releases/download/v${VERSION}/Ghostty-${VERSION}-${ARCH}.AppImage\n\n# Make the AppImage executable\nchmod +x Ghostty-${VERSION}-${ARCH}.AppImage\n\n# Run the AppImage\n./Ghostty-${VERSION}-${ARCH}.AppImage\n\n# Optionally, add the AppImage to your PATH for easier access\n\n# With sudo for system wide availability\nsudo install ./Ghostty-${VERSION}-${ARCH}.AppImage /usr/local/bin/ghostty\n\n# Without sudo, XDG base spec mandate\ninstall ./Ghostty-${VERSION}-${ARCH}.AppImage $HOME/.local/bin/ghostty\n\n# Now you can run Ghostty from anywhere using the command:\nghostty\n```\n\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003cb\u003eCommand Line (Automatic)\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/summary\u003e\n\nGhostty AppImage can be accessed through [**Soar**](https://github.com/pkgforge/soar) or [**AM**](https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM)/[**AppMan**](https://github.com/ivan-hc/AppMan). These tools automate the installation process, configure the PATH, and integrate with your desktop environment when installing AppImages.\n\n1. Using [**Soar**](https://github.com/pkgforge/soar)\n\n   ```bash\n   # Install\n   soar install ghostty\n\n   # Upgrade\n   soar update ghostty\n\n   # Uninstall\n   soar remove ghostty\n   ```\n\n1.

For more detailed usage, refer to the documentation of each tool\n\n\u003e **🛈 NOTE**\n  Gearlever does not support delta updates with zsync and you may need to give it the URL to update manually.\n\n\u003e **🛈 NOTE**\n  Gearlever does not have official AppImage releases. You can use [this one](https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/Gear-Lever-AppImage) however.\n\n   \u003c/details\u003e\n\n## ⏫ Updating\n\nSince AppImages are self-contained executables, there is no formal installation process beyond setting executable permissions.\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003cb\u003eUpdate (Manual)\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n1. Download the latest AppImage package from the [releases](https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/ghostty-appimage/releases) section.\n1.

Use [AppImageUpdate](https://github.com/AppImageCommunity/AppImageUpdate) which reads the update information in the AppImage. This is a low level tool.\n1. Use a higher level tool that uses AppImageUpdate, like [AppImageLauncher](https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher), [AM](https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM) or [appimaged](https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage/blob/master/src/appimaged/README.md) daemon, these tools also automatically handle desktop integration.\n\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n## 🤝 Contributing\n\nContributions \u0026 Bugfixes are welcome.
