AppImage
We made it an AppImage so it could run without sudo privileges and be directly distributed by us. However, it requires certain systemwide pre-requisites to function.
Allow it Permission to Run as Executable
One Command:
The AppImage itself lets you get the pre-reqs in a single command either by clicking on it to copy-paste into your own terminal, or giving the AppImage sudo permission to install them automatically for you.
Sudo ?!
If you copy-paste a single command to your own terminal to install the pre-reqs, then this means you’re trusting your package manager, instead of trusting a new thing.
Browser-only Profiles:
No Sudo Required
System-wide VPN:
Requires Sudo to Connect, like any WireGuard VPN would. But no Sudo to Install/Setup
Manual Website OPTION:
Doing it from within the AppImage is the easiest method. But another option is manually with these instructions on our website: [Link to Prereqs]
