<p style="color:cyan;margin-bottom: 0px;">We have yuzu as an AppImage and Flatpak now! This relaxes dependency requirements for yuzu, as well as enabling it to run on a lot of older distributions.</p>

If you prefer to use the Flatpak version, you can download it from the <a href="https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.yuzu_emu.yuzu"><span class="fl-flathub"></span>&nbsp;FlatHub</a>.

To run yuzu as an AppImage, first download it, then add the executable bit from the terminal:

```
chmod a+x yuzu-*.AppImage
```

Or with the GUI, right click the AppImage, click Properties, then Permissions, then click "Allow this file to run as a program". After that, double-click the AppImage to run it.
