Until then, there are three things to note.

• ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Vulkan sdk is necessary, please download and install it.
• ⚠️⚠️⚠️ For linux, please make the AppImage file executable by the following command:

  chmod +x MEC_SDL2_OpenGL3-linux-x86_64-x.x.x.AppImage

• ⚠️⚠️⚠️ And if you're using linux distros that use fuse3, and miss libfuse.so.2 to run the AppImage file, you can install it by:

  sudo apt install libfuse2
