The usual snags, and how to get past them.

Updating and uninstalling
The AppImage doesn’t open

AppImages need FUSE 2, which some distributions leave out. On Ubuntu 24.04 and newer, install it with the command below; on older Ubuntu and Debian the package is called libfuse2.

sudo apt install libfuse2t64

“Permission denied” when starting Kit

The file isn’t marked as a program yet. Run chmod +x on it, or turn on “Allow executing as program” in its Properties.

“kit: command not found” after installing

The installer puts the kit command in ~/.local/bin, which some setups don’t search. Open Kit from your app launcher, or add the folder to your PATH and open a new terminal.

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc

The installer says Kit is still running

It won’t replace a Kit that’s open. Close every Kit window, then run the installer again.

Links from other apps still open in my old browser

Make Kit your default browser: choose it in your desktop’s settings for default apps, or install with --default.

./kit/install.sh --default
