AppImage Installation

AppImage is RuneLite's preferred installation option. Please make sure that all RuneLite windows are closed before starting.

1. Download the latest AppImage from RuneLite's GitHub:

wget https://github.com/runelite/launcher/releases/latest/download/RuneLite.AppImage
chmod a+x RuneLite.AppImage

1. Extract the AppImage contents so that the can be modified by RuneMate:

./RuneLite.AppImage --appimage-extract && mv squashfs-root/ RuneLite.AppDir && rm -f RuneLite.AppImage

1. Launch RuneMate and tell it to patch RuneLite in `RuneLite.AppDir`.

2. Repackage the AppImage:

# Fetch the latest AppImageKit
wget https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/releases/download/continuous/appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage && chmod a+x appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage

# Repackage RuneLite.AppImage
./appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage RuneLite.AppDir

Once complete, RuneMate will be able to detect any RuneLite processes launched with this AppImage, so you can move it to somewhere more convenient and launch it by double clicking or via terminal.

Jagex Launcher

Unfortunately, we have not yet found a reasonable way to support RuneMate with RuneLite on Jagex Accounts.
