An AppImage runs as a standalone application and normally needs no traditional system-wide installation.
Tested on Ubuntu 24.04 GNOME. Other distributions have not yet been comprehensively validated.
Once the AppImage is available, make it executable and run it:
chmod +x QTextEdit-x86_64.AppImage
./QTextEdit-x86_64.AppImage
