# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/v8v88v8v88/DeskImage.git
cd DeskImage

# Build the project
cargo build --release

# Run the application
./target/release/deskimage

Once built, you can run the application directly:

./target/release/deskimage

Or install it globally for easier access:

sudo cp ./target/release/deskimage /usr/local/bin/

1. Launch the application from your terminal or application menu
2. If not installed globally, you can click the "Install to /usr/local/bin" button
3. Click "Select AppImage File" and browse to choose your AppImage file
4. Click "Create Desktop Entry" to generate the desktop entry

The application will:

• Copy the AppImage to ~/.local/bin/ with executable permissions
• Create a desktop entry file in ~/.local/share/applications/
• Display success or failure status messages

• Linux-based operating system
• Rust 1.76.0 or later recommended (required for egui 0.31.1)
• Standard desktop environment (GNOME, KDE, XFCE, etc.)
