Hi @newyorkthink, thanks for raising this. I would investigate this if possible.

appimage format it can run everywhere

nvitop is a pure Python library that can also run everywhere. AppImage format may have some advantages in that we can distribute the software via a single file. For nvitop, if we want to distribute an AppImage release, e.g. nvitop.AppImage, we need to also pack the Python interpreter, related Python dependencies, and the NVIDIA NVML dynamic library. The last one may involve a license issue.

@XuehaiPan An .AppImage package is a convenient choice for offline installations. It also helps protect nvitop from potential dependencies conflicts with other Python apps.
