2. Install all the required dependencies
Use the following commands to install the necessary dependencies. This will ensure the seamless execution of the AppImages.
sudo apt install zlib1g zlib1g-dev
sudo apt install libfuse2
If the libfuse2 package is not found (e.g., in Ubuntu 22), add an APT repository called universe by executing: sudo add-apt-repository universe and then try step-2 again.
3. Run Keet
Now, extract the Keet-arm64.tar.gz file downloaded earlier. Next, run the Keet.AppImage of the extracted folder by double-clicking on it. This step will start up Keet for you.
