Click More info, then Run anyway. This message appears for new programs that are not yet widely downloaded.

Right-click (or Control-click) Urdu Nigar in Applications and choose Open, then Open again. You only need to do this once.

Linux AppImage does not start

Right-click the file, open Properties ▸ Permissions and tick Allow executing file as program, or run chmod +x on it. On Ubuntu 24.04 and newer also install FUSE 2 once: sudo apt install libfuse2t64.
