Command not found using AppImage with AppImage Launcher

OS: Debian 12 I’ve tried both Appimages for Retroarch and I get a command not found error in my file manager. I have Appimage Launcher installed. I tried to launch it via CLI and got this

Cannot mount AppImage, please check your FUSE setup. You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage if you run it with the --appimage-extract option. See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE for more information execv error: No such file or directory

Can you try to launch it manually using this AppImage ?

7z x RetroArch.7z
cd RetroArch-Linux-x86_64
./RetroArch-Linux-x86_64.AppImage -v

Thank you.

Sadly it’s the same result.

Could you disable AppImage Launcher and try it again? I’ve had some issues with it before.

Well I just had to do 3 complete reinstalls of Debian today. I’ll give it a shot. No idea when I can get to it.

AppImage Launcher lite runs it with no problem. Fires right up. Of course I just got done doing a complete format and reinstall x 3. I can confirm that the Lite version, that’s the CLI only version, runs it without issue.

I suspected the issue could’ve been that. If you have no issues against Flatpak, you could use Gear Lever for managing AppImages. It has more options and is actively maintained.

Can’t use Flatpak. It will uninstall Fuse3 and I need that for Chatterino.
