- Linux: four artifacts per arch (x86_64 + arm64):
.AppImage(portable, double-click to run — bundles Qt 6.8 + plugins via linuxdeploy; rememberchmod +xthen./BALLView-*.AppImage),.deb(Debian / Ubuntu 24.04+;sudo apt install ./BALLView-*.deb),.rpm(Fedora 40+ / RHEL / openSUSE;sudo dnf install ./BALLView-*.rpm), and a portable.tar.gz(extract-and-run, requires system Qt 6.8+). All Linux SKUs are LGPL — FFTW is intentionally absent (no GPL relicensing). SeeBUILD-linux.mdfor build-from-source instructions and.planning/phases/08c-packaging-linux/08c-FFTW-GPL-DECISION.mdfor the GPL rationale.
