Question: How to "install" an app?

[Moltkex]

Hi,

I just installed in Ubuntu and already tried to "install/download" an app, however, I keep getting this
appimage-cli-tool: error: invalid target format

What is or are the valid formats? Because

app install --help          
Usage: appimage-cli-tool install <target>

Install an application.

Arguments:
<target> Installation target.

Flags:
-h, --help Show context-sensitive help.
--debug Enable debug mode.

Doesn't really help that much. Thanks for any help in advance.

Same issue with app install <name>
And with a .appimage file:

$ sudo app install FontBase-2.16.9.AppImage

Adding my confusion to the list here. This is the only format that doesn't give me an invalid target format:

# Example, installing App Outlet
# I got the target from 'app search app-outlet'
app install appimagehub:1355468

However, I instead get this response:

appimage-cli-tool: error: no AppImage found in releases

Which I can't really make sense of. There is a App.Outlet-2.1.0.AppImage file in this particular repository if I look in AppImageHub:

https://www.appimagehub.com/p/1355468

Same here, if I ask:
app search balena
...
appimagehub:1222201 BalenaEtcher - Appimage Utilities AJSlye

Now I want to install Balena Etcher, I got this:

app install appimagehub:1222201
appimage-cli-tool: error: no AppImage found in releases

Only if I give the full path e.g for Lagrange

app install https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange/releases/download/v1.13.7/Lagrange-1.13.7-x86_64.AppImage

I got even to choose between

Use the arrow keys to navigate: ↓ ↑ → ←
Select binary to download
✅ Lagrange-1.13.7-armhf.AppImage
Lagrange-1.13.7-x86_64.AppImage

and it works. Mayby the database at appimagehub.com has some defects? Or does it only work at github?

It's really a pity, because I think it's a neat and nice tool, if it works. ;-)
