Here you will find AppImages for Ipe. Please let me know if you have any problems with running Ipe using the AppImages offered on this site: [email protected].

Ipe requires pdflatex to be installed in order to render text elements. It is not included in the AppImage so you need to have a LaTeX distribution installed on your system. You can find informations about LaTeX and how to install it at www.tug.org.

• Download the latest AppImage for Ipe

• Make the AppImage executable, e.g. in the terminal run chmod a+x Ipe-x.y.z.AppImage

The AppImage for Ipe is created inside a fresh installation of CentOS 6.7. In order to build the AppImage follow these steps

• Install CentOS 6.7 either on a PC or inside VirtualBox or any other virtualization program. Using 'testappimage' of AppImageKit also works, but there are issues with dbus.

• Start the Terminal and run git clone https://github.com/unruhschuh/Ipe.AppImage

• Change directory with cd Ipe.AppImage

• Start compilation and packaging process with ./recipe.sh. This creates Ipe.AppImage inside the current directory.

• The command line tools like ipetoipe won’t work this way. There would have to be an AppImage for each of the tools. Maybe in a future release. Another approach would be to use startipe.sh to allow parameters to start these tools.
