It is believed that many inexperienced people don't know how to turn any website into a single executable Appimage in Linux. Therefore, this article summarizes the causes and solutions of the problem. Through this article, I hope you can solve this problem.

Do you want to create the Web application as a portable Appimage package format? Appnativefy is a simple tool that can help you achieve this function.

Appnativefy is a simple command-line tool that generates executable AppImage files from any Web site, using Nativefier API on the back end with AppImageKIt.

Appimage is a general Linux package format. Unlike other packages, you do not need to install it. Just make it executable and run the startup program!

How to use Appnativefy:

Using Appnativefy, you can run a simple command to convert a Web site into a single executable Appimage:

Appnativefy-name "TYPE_PACKAGE_NAME"-url "URL_ADDRESS"

For example, you can change www.linuxmi.com to appimage with the following command:

Linuxmi@linuxmi:~/www.linuxmi.com$ appnativefy-name "LinuxMi"-url "https://www.linuxmi.com"-favicon

You can add more flags at the end of the command to enable more options, such as:

-- services allows login using services such as Microsoft 365 and Google.

-- favicon enforces the use of website icons when creating AppImage.

-- widevine added Widevine support to enable playback of DRM-enabled content.

For more information, run appnativefy-h

For example, running the following command creates an application image for Spotify that has Widevine support, enables login services, and uses favicon.

Linuxmi@linuxmi:~/www.linuxmi.com$ appnativefy-name "Spotify"-url "https://open.spotify.com"-services-widevine-favicon

The application will create an appnativefy folder in the user's home directory that contains all generated Appimage packages.

How to install Appnativefy:

The software is provided in the form of NPM software package. To install it, first open the terminal and run the command to install the dependency:

Linuxmi@linuxmi:~/www.linuxmi.com$ sudo apt install nodejs npm wget

Then install the tool through the npm command:

Linuxmi@linuxmi:~/www.linuxmi.com$ sudo npm install-g appnativefy

The output is as follows:

Npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142 npm WARN deprecated har-validator@5.1.5: this library is no longer supported / usr/local/bin/appnativefy-> / usr/local/lib/node_modules/appnativefy/appnativefy.js > core-js@3.9.0 postinstall / usr/local/lib/node_modules/appnativefy/node_modules/core-js > node-e "try {require ('. / postinstall')} catch (e) {}"

How to delete an Appnativefy:

To delete the command line tool, simply run the command:

Linuxmi@linuxmi:~/www.linuxmi.com$ sudo npm uninstall-g appnativefy

If you do not use nodejs and npm, delete them to free up dozens of MB of disk space:

Linuxmi@linuxmi:~/www.linuxmi.com$ sudo apt purge-auto-remove nodejs npm after reading the above, have you mastered how to turn any website into a single executable Appimage in Linux?
