Feature Suggestion: AppImage

[Mennaruuk]

Hi! I think having Plumber as an AppImage would be phenomenal, since it can work without installing flatpak or snap support.

My exams going on, Working PRs are always welcome :)

I wish I know how to code :( it’s okay if it can’t happen, it’s just that snap size can get so big, and appimages are generally lighter. Thank you anyway :)

Hi @Mennaruuk. You can build Plumber from source.

If you don't have Qt installed you can install it like this:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install qtcreator
sudo apt-get install qt5-default
sudo apt-get install qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5multimediawidgets5 libqt5multimedia5-plugins libqt5multimedia5

and then:
git clone https://github.com/keshavbhatt/plumber.git
cd plumber/src
qmake
make
./plumber

@nicholascarroll why not simply release the built version? Making user install such library as qt will take bunch of space for a one-time use — compiling an app.
