Specify installation for Repetier Host under Linux #3794

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. After install of the appimage I've got messages: 

The Slicer detected system SSL certificate store in: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
Um den System-Zertifikatsspeicher manuell anzugeben, setzen Sie bitte die Umgebungsvariable SSL_CERT_FILE auf das richtige CA-Bundel und starten Sie die Anwendung neu.

I don't know, what this means, what I should do and how it has to be done.

Even if I continue ...

In Repetier Host I have to define a configuration directory for SuperSlicer, which does not exist ... image The slicer does not work from within Repetier Host on Linux. (I had no problems to make it work on Windows, but now I have changed the System completely to Linux.)

Describe the solution you'd like The best would be an easy installation deb package, where all the parts of the software are frely accessible. Or even as repository to install with sudo apt install superslicer ... So the path for the configuration could be defined.

Describe how it would work sudo apt install superslicer or install the .deb package with the default package manager.

Describe alternatives you've considered Just using slic3r only or CuraSlicer

Additional context ...

In the meantime I found, that the linux .tar.zip can directly be extracted to a directory ( ~/.local/share/ as example) and the program then be executed directly from the resulting bin directory, as example ~/.local/share/SuperSlicer/bin/superslicer.

In SuperSlicer there is an entry "Show Configuration Folder" in the Help menu. The resulting path can directly be entered in Repetier-Host.

I found, that Repetier-Host is a wine application and because of this, it's not possible, to use the configuration button. (Shame on you, Repetier ...) A workaround could then be, to use a desktop Icon to start SuperSlicer configuration directly. The resulting configuration can then be set in Repetier-Host.

Anyway, because of the wine application, this will never work in Repetier-Host that way. So I give up und I'm looking for another slicer hosting application. (I don't like to install SuperSlicer in the same wine container. I don't have the required experience.)

Anyway, many THANKS for the great slicer application.
