I'm installing the Ultimaker Cura 3D printer slicer program from here (https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/releases/tag/5.1.0) onto Linux Ubuntu 20.04.
1. What is the difference between
Ultimaker-Cura-5.1.0-linux-modern.AppImage
and Ultimaker-Cura-5.1.0-linux.AppImage
? Which should I use? Why? How do they differ?
I've [posted this on their forum too](https://community.ultimaker.com/topic/41214-which-appimage-should-i-install-appimage-vs-modernappimage/) .
### Update: important installation reminder to myself and others:
After downloading the desired AppImage for your operating system, per the accepted answer below, be sure to make it executable as well! Then, you can double-click on it in a file browser to run it.
Ex: how to install Cura on Linux Ubuntu 20.04:
# download it
wget https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/releases/download/5.3.0/UltiMaker-Cura-5.3.0-linux.AppImage
# Make it executable
chmod +x UltiMaker-Cura-5.3.0-linux.AppImage
# Now run it.
# Option 1: double-click the file in a GUI file manager
# Option 2: run it from the command-line:
./UltiMaker-Cura-5.3.0-linux.AppImage # run in foreground
./UltiMaker-Cura-5.3.0-linux.AppImage & # run in background
