libfuse

While running the Appimage of Shotcut Video Editor,we encountered with issue – “dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2”. When we see the error carefully, it is self explanatory that the shared library called libfuse is missing in the Operating System.

What is libfuse ?

Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) is a simple interface for userspace programs to export a virtual filesystem to the Linux kernel. It also aims to provide a secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own filesystem implementations.(Definition Reference taken from Debian website).

sudo apt update -y && sudo apt install -y libfuse2

We hope after installing this shared library now you are able to run the Appimage.
