Running AppImage

[gw1500se]

Supposedly appImage files are simply executable files like a shell script. However, it looks to me more like an HTML file. I have one that does not run on Centos. Is there something different about Centos compared to other *nix's? TIA.

With the little info supplied, your 'results' seem to indicate an HTML file to me as well. Does it run in your browser?

[gw1500se]

It does but simply asks to download the file. The result is a duplicate file. I haven't had a chance to actually look at the content yet but I'm not sure what I am supposed to see.

!DOCTYPE

is the header (as many of the following lines are) for an HTML document. It may run in your web browser (or not at all if it's from an actual Web page containing the resources it seems to be using).

Hello
I have (a working) MKVToolNix from their repo https://mkvtoolnix.download/downloads.html#centos just install the repo and use yum to install mkvtoolnix rpm

Thanks. I didn't think there was a version in the repo.
