This release tracks PrusaSlicer's upstream version_2.9.0. AppImages are built using appimage-builder (with PrusaSlicer's dependencies) for broader compatibility at the cost of an increased AppImage size.
- AppImage to download will depend on version of libwebkit2gtk (latestOS for libwebkit2gtk-4.1)
libwebkit2gtk
It might be necessary to install libwebkit2gtk, as it cannot currently be provided with the AppImage:
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 - Web content engine library for GTK
libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 - Web content engine library for GTK
$ sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 AppImage selection
Run the following in a terminal:
pi@raspberry:~$ uname -m
aarch64If the command does not print aarch64 (or arm64), grab an armhf AppImage.
Architectures
armhf
armhf distributions are for 32-bit distributions, ex: PrusaSlicer-version_2.9.0-armhf.AppImage
arm64 / aarch64
These are for 64-bit distributions, ex: PrusaSlicer-version_2.9.0-aarch64.AppImage
How do I run the AppImage?
Install dependencies
Raspberry Pi OS Bookwoorm users: You may need to set your locale to UTF-8 if an error occurs after launching. On the desktop: Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration > Localization > Set Locale > Character Set > UTF-8. Reboot when prompted.
Bookworm also needs the libfuse2 package:
sudo apt-get install -y libfuse2
For other Raspberry Pi OS distributions, more dependencies on the host may be needed. Run the following in a terminal to install them:
sudo apt-get install -y git cmake libboost-dev libboost-regex-dev libboost-filesystem-dev \
libboost-thread-dev libboost-log-dev libboost-locale-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev build-essential \
pkg-config libtbb-dev zlib1g-dev libcereal-dev libeigen3-dev libnlopt-cxx-dev \
libudev-dev libopenvdb-dev libboost-iostreams-dev libgmpxx4ldbl libnlopt-dev \
libdbus-1-dev imagemagick libgtk2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev fuse libfuse2
After downloading the AppImage and installing dependencies, make the AppImage executable and run the AppImage to launch PrusaSlicer:
$ chmod +x PrusaSlicer-version_2.9.0-[...].AppImage
$ ./PrusaSlicer-version_2.9.0-[...].AppImage
Minimal versions These AppImages include fewer dependencies to reduce size but may not be compatible with older distributions.
