The quick-install script sets up a systemd user timer that runs fp-appimage-updater update periodically in the background. The timer activates 15 minutes after boot and then every 12 hours. Since fp-appimage-updater is designed for user-space operations, always use the --user flag when interacting with its systemd units — do not use sudo for user-wide installs.

​
Set up the timer

1

Install with systemd support

The default installation sets up the timer automatically:
curl -sL fau.fpt.icu/i | bash
If you want to skip the timer, pass --no-systemd:
curl -sL fau.fpt.icu/i | bash -s -- --no-systemd
2

Check timer status

Verify the timer is active:
systemctl --user status fp-appimage-updater.timer
3

Enable and start the timer manually

If the timer was not enabled during install, start it now:
systemctl --user enable --now fp-appimage-updater.timer
4

View logs

Inspect recent background update runs:
journalctl --user -u fp-appimage-updater.service -n 50

​
System-wide installation

To install the binary and systemd units system-wide (targeting /usr/bin/ and /usr/lib/systemd/system/), run the install script with sudo and the --system flag: 
curl -sL fau.fpt.icu/i | sudo bash -s -- --system
When installed system-wide, use sudo and the --system flag instead of --user for all systemctl commands.
If your environment has an immutable filesystem (such as Fedora Silverblue or openSUSE MicroOS), the script will reject system-wide install attempts. Use the user-wide install instead.

​
Uninstall

To remove the binary, disable the timer, and clean up all installed files: 
curl -sL fau.fpt.icu/i | bash -s -- --uninstall
