-# How to create AppImages for Geeqie
-
-## Download the required tools
-
-Download the `linuxdeploy` tools. At the time of writing, these are:
-
-```sh
-wget -c https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy/releases/download/continuous/linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage
-chmod +x linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage
-wget -c https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy-plugin-gtk/master/linuxdeploy-plugin-gtk.sh
-chmod +x linuxdeploy-plugin-gtk.sh
-sudo apt install patchelf
-sudo apt install librsvg2-dev
-```
-
-The first two of these files must be in your `$PATH` environment variable.
-
-## Generate the executable
-
-```sh
-cd <your working area>
-```
-
-Download Geeqie sources:
-
-```sh
-git clone git://www.geeqie.org/geeqie.git
-cd geeqie
-```
-
-If a run has already been made, remove any existing targets:
-
-```sh
-rm -r  <target dir>/AppDir
-sudo rm -rf doc/html
-```
-
-Create a fresh target directory:
-
-```sh
-mkdir <target dir>/AppDir
-```
-
-Generate the Geeqie executable:
-
-```sh
-meson setup appimage-build
-meson configure -Dprefix=/usr appimage-build
-DESTDIR=<full path to target dir>/AppDir ninja -C build-appimage install
-```
-
-## Generate the AppImage
-
-```sh
-cd <target dir>
-linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage \
-    --appdir ./AppDir --output appimage \
-    --desktop-file ./AppDir/usr/share/applications/geeqie.desktop \
-    --icon-file ./AppDir/usr/share/pixmaps/geeqie.png \
-    --plugin gtk \
-    --executable ./AppDir/usr/bin/geeqie`
-```
-
-## Rename AppImage
-
-If required, rename the AppImage executable - e.g.:
-
-```sh
-mv ./Geeqie-v1.6-x86_64.AppImage $(./Geeqie-v1.6-x86_64.AppImage -v | sed 's/git//' | sed 's/-.* /-/' | sed 's/ /-v/' | sed 's/-GTK3//').AppImage
-```
-
-## Automation script
-
-The script `./scripts/generate-appimage.sh` automates this process.
