⚡️Zap is a command line tool for downloading Appimages from GitHub, or from unofficial Appimage repositories. Zap is very helpful for keeping track of your Appimages, & placing a menu entry within your desktop environment.
To install Zap:
1. Grab zap from GitHub & place it in /usr/local/bin to make it accessible to everyone. This can be done running this command ina terminal.
```
sudo wget https://github.com/srevinsaju/zap/releases/download/continuous/zap-amd64 -O /usr/local/bin/zap
```
2. Next make it executable:
```
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/zap
```
