Thorium AppImage Generation

Instructions

This directory contains files to generate an .AppImage of Thorium.

You must place the .deb file (generated from running package.sh) in this directory, and then run ./make_appimage.sh

When it is done, you will have an appimage in out, I.E. it should be something like //thorium/infra/APPIMAGE/out/Thorium_Browser-104.0.5107.0.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage

You can use it standalone, after making it executable with sudo chmod +x Thorium_Browser-*, or (recommended) to integrate it with your system you can use AppImageLauncher.

  • Running ./extract_appimage.sh will extract the appimage contents to out/Thorium_squashfs-root

  • The files subdir contains files needed for the 22px and 512px icons, and a thorium-shell wrapper that allows thorium_shell to run properly in an AppImage.
