We need to install a software through .AppImage file (size: 78.4 MB) For this we have set permission as execute (see [https://prnt.sc/ti8hrh](https://prnt.sc/ti8hrh)).

When we are trying to run by double clicking then we are getting an error “cannot mount appimage check fuse setup”. See [https://prnt.sc/ti8lyf](https://prnt.sc/ti8lyf)

# We have followed the wiki article [https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE](https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE) and ran the following commands:

==================  
sudo apt install fuse  
sudo modprobe fuse  
sudo groupadd fuse

user="$(whoami)"  
sudo usermod -a -G fuse $user

==================  
But still same issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Thank you for the response.

# We have executed from the CLI as mentioned below:

# ./workcomposer-linux-installer.AppImage --appimage-extract

Then the said software is showing in **Application**. But when we are trying to open this software then we are getting error.

The screenshot is showing a bug in AppImageLauncher. This issue is being discussed at [https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher/issues/286](https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher/issues/286).

Which operating system (distribution) and version are you using?

What happens if you uninstall AppImageLauncher and try again?
