Calinou seems to have stopped updating his Minetest AppImage builds, so I decided to build Minetest and create an AppImage out of it. You can download it here:
First, make the AppImage an executable by using `chmod +x <file>` in the terminal or by right-clicking the file then selecting "Properties" then "Permissions", and checking the executable checkbox. Double-click the AppImage to run Minetest.
AppImages for Minetest 5.3.0 and 5.4.0-dev are now available!

Credit to Calinou; I used the libraries from his 64 bit AppImage to set up my AppImages. Without his AppImage it would have taken me a long time to collect the libraries.

I've been working on getting reliable AppImages for Minetest for a few days now. I will likely try to get a PR going once all the configuration tweaks are worked out (hopefully with TravisCI integration assuming no devs disagree with using it for builds).
Thanks for the AppImage for MT 5.2.0, but I got into problem running it on my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. When executing it complains about /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgssapi.so.3, it might be missing or a library that depends on it might be missing too. This is an error I get when running it
/tmp/.mount_MineteDt7sYG/usr/bin/minetest-x86_64.bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgssapi.so.3: undefined symbol: rk_memset_s, version HEIMDAL_ROKEN_1.0
Thanks for this. It's perfect since it can be run in portable mode, meaning i can keep my older versions of MT also. I had been looking at different solutions for this, but this is the best, and was right here all the time.
@An0n3m0us I referenced your builds in the issue here: :) https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/3596
hopefully these'll get pushed to be official builds released on the website download page :D
they run more than well, even on my various machines ;D
