This is updated regularly 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 that currently works on older distros but may not work on the newest distros +the desired date release.

In any case, if you are using a 32-bit Linux distro, you should compile your sources from git or use a precompiled binary\protect\footnote{Remember that a 32-bit distro does not address more than 4GB of memory, so you may have stability and performance problems with large, high-resolution mediafiles.}. And there is a 8/10/12 bit newer distro that handles 8 or 10 or 12 bits that has \textit{multibit} as part of the filename. Installing the appimage is simple: Download the file from:
