Install fp-appimage-updater via COPR, Homebrew, the quick-install script, or a pre-built binary.
Choose the method that matches your distribution and preferences.
Fedora / OpenSUSE (COPR)
Quick install script
Pre-built binaries
Homebrew (tap)
The official COPR repository is the recommended method for RPM-based distributions. It integrates with your package manager and keeps the tool updated automatically.
After installation, fp-appimage-updater is available on your PATH and managed by dnf.
The install script works on any Linux distribution, including immutable and atomic systems. By default it installs to ~/.local/bin/ and sets up a systemd user timer for background updates.In plain terms, the script does three things:
puts the binary on your PATH
creates the user timer if you allow background updates
leaves your recipes, state, and AppImages in your home directory
curl -sL fau.fpt.icu/i | bash
Options:Skip the systemd background timer if you prefer to run updates manually:
curl -sL fau.fpt.icu/i | bash -s -- --no-systemd
Install system-wide to /usr/bin/ and /usr/lib/systemd/system/ (requires root, rejected on strictly immutable systems):
curl -sL fau.fpt.icu/i | sudo bash -s -- --system
Uninstall the binary and disable all running systemd timers across any scope:
curl -sL fau.fpt.icu/i | bash -s -- --uninstall
The uninstall option leaves your AppImage binaries and configuration files in ~/.config/fp-appimage-updater/ intact.
The binary is a fully self-contained executable with no runtime dependencies. Self-update works out of the box — you can run fp-appimage-updater self-update to upgrade to the latest release at any time.
If you prefer Homebrew, you can install the Linux binary from the GitLab-hosted tap:
brew tap fpsys/tap https://gitlab.com/fpsys/homebrew-tap.gitbrew install fp-appimage-updater
Installing this way does not install the systemd service automatically.
For a standard user-wide install, sudo is never required. The binary and all configuration live entirely in your home directory under ~/.local/ and ~/.config/.
