Description

Hello everyone!

I would like to know if there is a possibility to create an AppImage (https://appimage.org/) of this project.

I believe it would be of great benefit since it will allow greater compatibility between distributions, but I understand that it may not be possible due to the analyses that the tool performs in the environment.
Therefore, I would like to know your opinion about this and if there is the possibility of creating the AppImage of the tool.

Research direction

The issue proposes packaging Attack Surface Analyzer as an AppImage for Linux, but it names no files, tests, or build entry points. First inspect the project's build and release configuration and assess whether environment analysis remains valid in an AppImage; done would require a maintainers-approved, working AppImage with compatibility validated across distributions.
