[Feature Request] AppImage #52

Closed zero77 closed 5 years ago

zero77 commented 5 years ago

Can you please provide an AppImage, this is basically just a standalone portable executable for linux, that doesn't require installation. Thanks

There are different ways to create AppImages:

Use Open Build Service (OBS)
Convert existing binary packages (.deb, .rpm, …)
Bundling your Travis CI builds as AppImages
Run linuxdeployqt on your Qt application
Using electron-builder for Electron-based apps
Create an AppDir manually

EagleEye depends on a handfull of python libs e.g tensorflow and dlib (c++). This also uses external configuration files e.g config.json and the known folder.

Do you have a particular reason you need a appimage? You can easily install required packages via pip (python 3.6+) on linux which should just work. If you want isolation you can use a virtualenv so you dont install the packages globally.

There are a number of reasons i would like to see AppImage support added.

Because, it can help when you don't have root access to install Eagle Eye or dependencies.

Also, it's easier to use on a new install or on a different device than usual from a usb.

Do you want to help creating a AppImage? You are more than welcome to do so.

I will have a look into it. I think the best solution is.

Bundling your Travis CI builds as AppImages

But i haven't had a look yet.
