Noticing I'm a newbie in this, know of Session?

General Linux Question
1

Read an article on itsfoss about Session after migrating completely to Linux, ditching everything *Meta* thus installing Signal on my smartphone (diving into the YollaC2, highly interested in it as next phone with SailfishOS).

I want to try Session from that article, and downloaded the linux build of the messanger. Mmmh, dumb question, how do I install a file called: session-desktop-linux-x86_64-1.17.8.AppImage …it’s probably obvious, but I even wouldn’t know how to phrase the question…

Let me guess, it’s so obvious that I will hide in the corner of my room after reading it..

AppImages are all self-contained, you do not really install them. (Be sure it is from a trusted site. )

All you need to do is make it executable. Right-click on file → Properties → Permissions → check “Allow executing file as program”.

Then double click to run it.

To get rid of it- just delete the appimage file.
