\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.

+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.

+\section{Building the HTML Manual for Context Help}%
+\label{sec:building_the_manual}
+\index{context help}
+
+In addition to compiling your own \CGG{}, you should also build an html version of the manual that is needed for Context Help in the program. The main version of the manual is in latex to produce a pdf version of the manual and this is required to be built first as the basis for the html version. This means that you need a full latex environment, git, and the latex2html program in order to eventually create the html version. Texlive is about 1 GB; Latex2html itself has many requirements and missing any will result in failure: some requirments include Netpbm, GhostScript, dvips, etc. Latex2html must be at least version "2021.2" in order to create the html manual version from the latex.
+
+The steps are as follows:
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item Download the manual in LaTeX:
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=sh]
+git clone "git://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cin-manual-latex.git" master
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+ \item Included in the download is the \textit{translate\_manual} script. After modifying this file to have execute permission, run this script from a terminal window in the \textit{master} directory where it was downloaded (be aware that this script includes several \textit{rm} commands):
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=sh]
+./translate_manual
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+The PDF document will be produced from the latex source in the \textit{master} directory. Since the glossary and index are also present, it has to run the pdf build several times. The following commands in the \textit{translate\_manual} script produce the PDF document from latex source which includes invoking makeindex for the Index and Glossary.
+
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=sh]
+pdflatex CinelerraGG_Manual.tex
+makeindex CinelerraGG_Manual.idx
+pdflatex CinelerraGG_Manual.tex
+makeindex CinelerraGG_Manual.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o CinelerraGG_Manual.nls
+pdflatex CinelerraGG_Manual.tex
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+After these commands are executed you will have the manual only in PDF format. So if you only want a PDF version, you only need to run these previous 5 lines but Context Help from the program will not be available with the PDF version.
+
+ \item Next, to produce HTML output the script then moves (renames) latex2html-init to .latex2html-init (starting with dot).
+
+ \item Finally latex2html is run with a unique set of parameters and some cleanup is performed. The script uses latex2html. It creates the directory CinelerraGG\_Manual containing all the files of the manual in html: tables, references, index, glossary, and various images.
+
+ \item After installation of the \CGG{} program, place the complete unchanged directory CinelerraGG\_Manual, as it was produced by latex2html from the manual package, into the 'doc' directory of the installed Cinelerra package. This will be the directory bin/doc/CinelerraGG\_Manual if \CGG{} was built --with-single-user. The script ContextManual.pl will automatically be in bin/doc after the successful build of the program. It is this perl script that allows the program to access CinelerraGG\_Manual to offer Context Help.
+
+ \item Optionally you can make some adjustments to the latex2html command line in the \textit{translate\_manual} script. Some variants are shown in the comments inside the script but changes may impact the usability of Alt/h hotkey from the program.
