What is the Difference between the GVim and the Vim Appimage?
The difference between the GVim and Vim Appimage is, that the GVim version includes a graphical User Interface (GTK3) and other X11 features like clipboard handling. That means, for proper clipboard support, you'll need the GVim Appimage, but you can only run this on a system that has the X11 libraries installed.
For a Server or headless environment, you are probably be better with the Vim version.
Note: The image is based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS jammy. It most likely won't work on older distributions.
Run it
Download the AppImage, make it executable then you can just run it:
wget -O /tmp/gvim.appimage https://github.com/vim/vim-appimage/releases/download/v9.2.0081/GVim-v9.2.0081.glibc2.34-x86_64.AppImage
chmod +x /tmp/gvim.appimage
/tmp/gvim.appimage
# alternatively, download the Vim Appimage
wget -O /tmp/vim.appimage https://github.com/vim/vim-appimage/releases/download/v9.2.0081/Vim-v9.2.0081.glibc2.34-x86_64.AppImage
chmod +x /tmp/vim.appimage
/tmp/vim.appimageThat's all, you should have a graphical vim now running (if you have a graphical system running) 😄
If you want a terminal Vim (with X11 and clipboard feature enabled), just create a symbolic link with a name starting with "vim". Like:
ln -s /tmp/gvim.appimage /tmp/vim.appimageThen execute vim.appimage to get a terminal Vim.
Interpreter interfaces
The Vim / GVim AppImage's are compiled with Vim interfaces for Perl 5.30, Python 3.8+, Ruby 2.7, and Lua 5.3 and built on Ubuntu 22.04 ("jammy"). If your system runs this exact version of Ubuntu (or some compatible flavor), and has the corresponding interpreter packages installed, they will work just as in a native Vim distro package.
Otherwise,
- for Python 3: install it on your system. In Vim,
set pythonthreedll=libpython3.10.soor similar (use the shell commandsudo ldconfig -p | grep libpython3to find the library name). See:help +python3/dyn-stable. - for any interpreter other than Python: the appimage embeds a version of its runtime. The Vim interface will work (see e.g.
:help lua,:help perl,:help ruby), however it won't have access to the default / base modules (with various effects for each interpreter). Any interpreter modules (base and add-ons) installed on your system will be ignored and are most likely not compatible with the runtime version embedded in the AppImage.

If your system runs this exact version of Ubuntu (or some compatible flavor), and has the corresponding interpreter packages installed, they will work just as in a native Vim distro package.
Otherwise,
- for Python 3: install it on your system. In Vim,
set pythonthreedll=libpython3.10.soor similar (use the shell commandsudo ldconfig -p | grep libpython3to find the library name). See:help +python3/dyn-stable. - for any interpreter other than Python: the appimage embeds a version of its runtime. The Vim interface will work (see e.g.
:help lua,:help perl,:help ruby), however it won't have access to the default / base modules (with various effects for each interpreter). Any interpreter modules (base and add-ons) installed on your system will be ignored and are most likely not compatible with the runtime version embedded in the AppImage.

What is the Difference between the GVim and the Vim Appimage?
The difference between the GVim and Vim Appimage is, that the GVim version includes a graphical User Interface (GTK3) and other X11 features like clipboard handling. That means, for proper clipboard support, you'll need the GVim Appimage, but you can only run this on a system that has the X11 libraries installed.
For a Server or headless environment, you are probably be better with the Vim version.
Note: The image is based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS jammy. It most likely won't work on older distributions.
Run it
Download the AppImage, make it executable then you can just run it:
wget -O /tmp/gvim.appimage https://github.com/vim/vim-appimage/releases/download/v9.2.0025/GVim-v9.2.0025.glibc2.34-x86_64.AppImage
chmod +x /tmp/gvim.appimage
/tmp/gvim.appimage
# alternatively, download the Vim Appimage
wget -O /tmp/vim.appimage https://github.com/vim/vim-appimage/releases/download/v9.2.0025/Vim-v9.2.0025.glibc2.34-x86_64.AppImage
chmod +x /tmp/vim.appimage
/tmp/vim.appimageThat's all, you should have a graphical vim now running (if you have a graphical system running) 😄
If you want a terminal Vim (with X11 and clipboard feature enabled), just create a symbolic link with a name starting with "vim". Like:
ln -s /tmp/gvim.appimage /tmp/vim.appimageThen execute vim.appimage to get a terminal Vim.
Interpreter interfaces
The Vim / GVim AppImage's are compiled with Vim interfaces for Perl 5.30, Python 3.8+, Ruby 2.7, and Lua 5.3 and built on Ubuntu 22.04 ("jammy"). If your system runs this exact version of Ubuntu (or some compatible flavor), and has the corresponding interpreter packages installed, they will work just as in a native Vim distro package.
Otherwise,
- for Python 3: install it on your system. In Vim,
set pythonthreedll=libpython3.10.soor similar (use the shell commandsudo ldconfig -p | grep libpython3to find the library name). See:help +python3/dyn-stable. - for any interpreter other than Python: the appimage embeds a version of its runtime. The Vim interface will work (see e.g.
:help lua,:help perl,:help ruby), however it won't have access to the default / base modules (with various effects for each interpreter).
