# LAUNCHER & ICON

[ivan-hc]

No use, simply the template to download and install the AppImage is standard, so the scripts are all similar... and I can't know all the existing programs.

For example, I use appimageupdatetool and appimagetool, from their script I removed the part where the launcher and icon are created... but because I know they are not needed!

As for streamlink and other programs requested... what can I know? I just upload them, if they ask me.

If you think that the launcher and icon are not needed for some specific app, open a PR.

👇

Just remove from the line "# LAUNCHER & ICON" on

its not difficult to understand. Get a text editor an do it.

why is there no clear information on how to create an appimage script as just a cli?
https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM/blob/main/docs/guides-and-tutorials/template.md

[ivan-hc]

Because each section of the script has a header that says what that section does. If you are smart enough to understand how a script works, you create it yourself and modify it to your liking. You just need to know how to read a script.

...icons are pictures, bin is a path for executable binaries, your question have no sense
