Installation

AppImage

# Ubuntu 24.04+ requires libfuse2 (not installed by default)
sudo apt install libfuse2t64 # or libfuse2 on older distros

chmod +x Limen-Code-0.4.8-alpha.AppImage
./Limen-Code-0.4.8-alpha.AppImage --no-sandbox
TROUBLESHOOTING

AppImage won't launch or fails silently?

Scenario: You download the AppImage, mark it executable, run it — and nothing happens. No window, no error, or a brief message about FUSE that disappears. Meanwhile, cloning from FlameHub and building from source works perfectly.

Cause: Ubuntu 24.04+ and many modern distros ship fuse3 by default, but AppImage (Type 2) requires libfuse2, which is no longer pre-installed. Without it, the AppImage runtime cannot mount the internal filesystem and exits silently.

Fix:

# Ubuntu 24.04+ (Noble and newer)
sudo apt install libfuse2t64

# Ubuntu 22.04 / Debian 12 / older distros
sudo apt install libfuse2

# Fedora / RHEL
sudo dnf install fuse-libs

# Arch
sudo pacman -S fuse2

After installing, run the AppImage again — it should launch immediately.

Alternative: If you prefer not to install FUSE, you can extract and run directly:

./Limen-Code-0.4.8-alpha.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run --no-sandbox

Or use the .deb package below, or build from source via FlameHub — both bypass this issue entirely.

Debian Package

sudo dpkg -i limen-code_0.4.8-alpha_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f # resolve dependencies if needed

Build from Source

git clone https://flamehub.app/git/limen-code.git
cd limen-code
npm install
npm run dev # development
npm run build # production build

Cross-Platform

Limen Code runs on Chromebooks, Windows, and macOS via setup scripts. Each script discloses exactly what it will do and asks for your consent before proceeding.

CHROMEBOOK

Chromebook (x86_64 via Crostini)

Runs natively on Intel/AMD Chromebooks using the built-in Linux container. The setup script installs dependencies, downloads the AppImage, verifies its SHA-256 hash, and creates a desktop launcher.

Step 1: Enable Linux in Settings → Advanced → Developers → Linux development environment

Step 2: Open the Linux terminal and run:

curl -fsSL https://limencode.app/scripts/chromebook-setup.sh | bash

Or review the script first: curl -fsSL https://limencode.app/scripts/chromebook-setup.sh -o setup.sh && less setup.sh && bash setup.sh

ARM Chromebooks: build from source with git clone https://flamehub.app/git/limen-code.git

WINDOWS

Windows 10/11 (via Podman)

Runs Limen Code in a sovereign Podman container with GUI forwarding. No Docker daemon. Rootless by design. Your workspace persists in a Podman volume.

Prerequisites:

Run in PowerShell:

Invoke-WebRequest https://limencode.app/scripts/windows-setup.ps1 -OutFile setup.ps1
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File setup.ps1

First build takes 5–15 minutes. Subsequent launches are instant.

MACOS

macOS 12+ (via Podman)

Runs Limen Code in a Podman container with XQuartz display forwarding. Supports both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) and Intel Macs.

Prerequisites:

Run in Terminal:

curl -fsSL https://limencode.app/scripts/macos-setup.sh | bash

Or review first: curl -fsSL https://limencode.app/scripts/macos-setup.sh -o setup.sh && less setup.sh && bash setup.sh
