\label{sec:cin_gg_appimage}
The main way to install \CGG{} is to use the AppImage. This is updated regularly and works for every distro, since it already contains the necessary dependencies.
+A big advantage of using the AppImage format is that it is only 1/3 the size of the normal install,
+and since each release is named differently, you can keep a number of versions in a directory,
+and when testing from a terminal you just have to type CinGG, then hit tab, and complete it to
+the desired date release.
For 64-bit systems you can choose between an image with up-to-date libraries or one that supports older libraries, which you should use only if the first image gives you problems with unsupported libs. There is also a 32-bit older distro available that has \textit{i686} as part of the filename. Installing the appimage is simple:
$ ./CinGG-yyyymmdd.AppImpage
\end{lstlisting}
-or create a convenient desktop icon with a link to the run action:
-
-\begin{enumerate}
- \item right-click on the appimage file
- \item Properties
- \item Application Tab
- \item Command:
- \begin{lstlisting}[style=sh]
- /path/to/appimage/./CinGG-yyyymmdd.AppImage
- \end{lstlisting}
- \item OK
-\end{enumerate}
+or create a convenient desktop icon with a link to the run action, or do a \textit{Desktop Integration} manually or with external programs.
Most distros already have the libraries to run the appimage, but if not you may need an additional installation. For example Arch Linux needs the \texttt{libappimage} package.
FreeBSD and Windows 10 with the bsd.patch for FreeBSD and the
cygwin.patch for Windows 10.
+NOTE: as of May 31, 2021 when Context Help was added, to include
+this Context Help you will need to download the corresponding
+tgz file containing the HTML manual sections referenced for the
+Help pages. The file to download is:
+\url{https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/images/HTML_Manual-20210531.tgz}
+substituting for "20210531" the "yyyymmdd" representing latest release date.
+Then unpack to your Cinelerra/bin/doc directory so it is included in
+your built system.

Alternatively, there are some pre-built dynamic or static binaries
which are updated on a fairly regular basis (as long as code changes
have been made) available at the link below.
export FFMPEG_EXTRA_CFG=" --disable-vdpau"
