We provide the Linux distribution of WIPO Sequence as an AppImage file. In version 2.3.0, we generally support CentOS and Ubuntu distributions however in the upcoming version 3.0.0 release we will no longer support CentOS.
We have validated version 3.1.0 on Ubuntu 24.04.2, MX Linux 23.6, Debian 12.10 and Linux Mint 22.1.
Depending on which Linux distribution you are using, it may be necessary to install some additional libraries,
Sample Installation instructions for Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS:
- Make .AppImage "executable": right click on .AppImage -> Properties -> turn on "Executable as program"
- Run .AppImage using Terminal. Overwise it will be not possible to check console logs.
- Overcoming errors:
а.) Most possibly, on 24.04 Linux you might get the following error: dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2 AppImages require FUSE to run. You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage if you run it with the --appimage-extract option.
This happens because WIPO Sequence AppImage relies on FUSE2, while Ubuntu 24.04 uses FUSE3 by default. The error can be fixed by installing libfuse2:sudo apt update
sudo apt install libfuse2
b). Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. This is because Electron doesn't allow to run application from the root user for security reasons. You can run application with --no-sandbox flag.
OR
Try to run from no root user. - As mentioned above, it's possible to extract the contents of AppImage:
./WIPOSequence-3.1.0.AppImage --appimage-extract
Then, move to extracted folder and run executable:cd squashfs-root
./wipo_sequence --no-sandbox
