I downloaded a .AppImage application.  
It is executable.  
How do I run the AppImage inside a sandbox?

Linux Mint/Ubuntu.

Hi, I’m only familiar with one method of sandboxing at this time, but it worked for me and has a good rep on the INet:

firejail

Take a look on their page on how to get it. Be aware that firejail requires a flag param to sandbox an AppImage. HTH.

Yes, please have a look at [AppImage Support | Firejail](https://firejail.wordpress.com/documentation-2/appimage-support/) and at the Firejail documentation.

For other sandboxes, please see their documentation and/or ask their authors.
