In the same folder where your appimage is stored, open a terminal and run:
replacing some_name with the actual name to see if you can launch it that way.

I was able to download the Dofus Appimage, changed the permission to be executable, and started it with a mouse click. As @ForWIW said, you may want to check if you are running a 64-bit system or not, as the executable won't run on a 32-bit system. To check your system setup, you can run:
and post the output here.

Post #6 said he successfully opened the Dofus Appimage so I thought I'd try too.
I downloaded the 64-bit Appimage and gave it executable privileges on a Live (64-bit) MX-19 (November) USB Flash Drive and...nothing.
I don't know if the following has anything to do with the problem, but I remember at least one occasion in the past where I was not able to run an appimage on a Live MX Linux USB Flash Drive, but running the same appimage on installed hardware with the same MX version would work fine.
I only ran it on a Live flash drive because it will not harm my system since nothing will be saved to the USB drive when I shut it down.

I see, yes I get the following error when trying to run the Appimage on a live USB:
Code: Select all

Spaces in Linux generally separate program names & their arguments. Your command is being interpreted as "run
Akama with the parameters
Launcher-Setup-x86_64.AppImage"
Thus, spaces in the middle of filenames need to be escaped, or the name quoted. so it's either
Code: Select all
./Ankama\ Launcher-Setup-x86_64.AppImage
or
Code: Select all
./"Ankama Launcher-Setup-x86_64.AppImage"
BTW, entering the beginning of the command
./Anka and pressing the Tab key should fill in the command correctly for you.
