 There are two preliminaries to do before running the script:
 
-1- If context sensitive help in the appimage version is required, the source of the manual and the tools (packages) to build it must be on the system. In the bld\_appimage.sh script, set the variable \texttt{MANUAL\_DIRECTORY=\$(pwd)/../../ cin-manual-latex} to the path of the source of the manual. If the variable is empty, or the specified directory does not exist, \CGG{} will be built without built-in help. The path to the manual source can be an absolute or relative one.

An easier method to include the help from the manual rather than having to install a bunch of latex building software, is to simply download the latest tgz version from {\small\url{https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/images/HTML_Manual-202xxxxx.tgz}}.
+Then extract the files using "tar xvf" into the cinelerra AppDir/usr/bin/doc directory.
+This alternative method may not contain the most recent changes to the Manual but rather will contain what had been checked into Git by the date of the tgz file.
 
-2- The script bld\_appimage.sh uses a platform specific version of appimagetool so that it can create appimages for \textit{x86\_64}, \textit{i686}, \textit{aarch64}, or \textit{armv7l} architecture. We need to add appimagetool-(platform).AppImage to the \texttt{/\{path to cinelerra- 5.1\}/tools} directory, or somewhere in your path. You can download the tool for your system (e.g. appimagetool-x86\_64.AppImage) from git: {\small\url{https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/releases}}

Be aware of the possibility that an older appimagetool from 2020 might work better on some systems compared to the latest release.
 
 Always remember to make it executable. The four supported platforms are:
