+## Running on Ubuntu 24.04+ without FUSE2

+Some fresh Ubuntu installs do not include `libfuse.so.2`, so direct AppImage execution may fail.
+
+Use one of these options:
+
+```bash
+# preferred package on Ubuntu 24.04+
+sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y libfuse2t64
+
+# then run AppImage normally

+Or run without installing FUSE:

+```bash
+APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN=1 ./electron_tray_demo-linux-<arch>-run<run>.AppImage
