AppImage or flatpak packaging? #29

I attempted to use the Linux 64-bit installer to install, but it errored out. Would it be possible to package as an AppImage or Flatpak for universal distro support?

Thanks!

Why would you need to flatpak a jar? Any platform with java can run it.

Honestly, I have no idea. I had to set this up for a physics class I ended up dropping, but when I try again with the class (and therefore this software) in a few years, I'll see what happened. If I remember correctly, there was some library that wasn't in my repos. I'll reopen this issue if I can't get it running and have more debugging details.

for java programs, you shouldn't download libraries from your repos. It's probably best to make a far jar for them, so all the dependencies are included.
